But then it was easy to realize which moments those are for me — they're the moments I go to first, whenever I remember each child's birth.<br /><br />I look forward to reading about your next birth....Rachael @ The Variegated Lifehttp://www.thevariegatedlife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051258436941012775.post-10239262576869564152012-06-15T02:45:53.199-07:002012-06-15T02:45:53.199-07:00Haha!

I think I was maybe 4 or 5 cm. My doctor was working and I told her I might go back home and try again later. All she had to say was "you'd like to do that car ride again, then?".<br /><br />This post is just lovely. May your next baby have an equally touching experience. And may you avoid the dreaded car-ride.Andrea @ talesofgoodnesshttp://talesofgoodness.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051258436941012775.post-66168459718562468932012-06-12T19:45:39.760-07:002012-06-12T19:45:39.760-07:00That was too funny!!

I hope your next one is a nice easy 4h -- long enough to get your midwife there, not so long to be excessive and drawn out. -- Erika@cincodemommyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051258436941012775.post-22033685485541070322012-06-12T10:16:15.025-07:002012-06-12T10:16:15.025-07:00My good friend actually caught her neighbour's...My good friend actually caught her neighbour's baby, much like your mother-in-law caught yours. She went over in the middle of the night to sleep at her neighbour's house, while her neighbour and her husband headed to the hospital to have the baby. Only the neighbour only ever made it as far as the garage, and while her husband called 911 my friend ended up being instructed to pull down the underwear of a woman she only knew casually and to catch the baby. She DEFINITELY hasn't gotten over that - but she does feel a special connection to the baby.Amber Strocelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01411476520048390845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051258436941012775.post-74126185309576770502012-06-12T09:23:24.362-07:002012-06-12T09:23:24.362-07:00Woo!
