Okay so I was going to post this big long thing about how I went to my sisters labor and how amazing it was, so much so I can't describe it, I almost cried several times because it was such a miracle. This huge baby just comes out of this little tiny women, doing no harm to either of them and he will grow to be a person, think, act and choose for himself, and maybe one day be right there helping his wife bring new life into this world again.
But because one I can't share all the details, since it wasn't me, two, you probably would stop reading but the time I was finished, and three, I don't have words to really explain what I want to I will just say this.
It was amazing, my sister handled it so well it actually made me want to try to do it again. ( I wasn't extremely happy with Anthony's birth, glad he is here and healthy and we are all well, but not happy about the way I handled it) Unfortunately birth isn't really something you just get to do over, or try again. I can say if I do have any more kids I will be trying to remember everything I saw and use it to help me. I really don't know where this is going. But anyway I would like sisters there, maybe a few.
Anyway, I am glad I went, child birth really is a miracle and I wish everyone could experience it, or at least experience seeing it. But all in all I know our Heavenly Father is looking out for us and knows what each of us needs to experience and what we can learn.
I think now, having done it naturally I would be much better prepared to be at Anthonys birth. I'm with you on the sisters being there. I almost cried too, but maybe for different reasons ;) or maybe not. It was amazing and spiritual and I think created a different kind of bond I didn't have with my first two. I'm glad you were there and hope you can make it to any others I might have.
