So glad that our little ones are happy and healthy though!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16445845152884940273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272432864456491078.post-49120672946324683462011-04-15T23:39:58.646-04:002011-04-15T23:39:58.646-04:00OMG your husband is amazing...what a thoughtful th...OMG your husband is amazing...what a thoughtful thing to write! And honestly, I don't know anyone IRL who is able to look back on their birth and say to themselves that it went exactly as planned and exactly as they wanted. Mine didn't, and I barely had a birth plan. <br />Don't beat yourself up for being or not being disappointed, you are entitled to your feelings, embrace them :)SSGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05667906070142027775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272432864456491078.post-8724124475961903862011-04-15T16:27:42.723-04:002011-04-15T16:27:42.723-04:00@Mari - yes, I read your birth story, and I am so ...@Mari - yes, I read your birth story, and I am so sorry things went down the way they did.

The only things that will annoy the piss out of me if they are ignored? My/our desire to keep our birth just ours. We do NOT want anyone there and if I have to have a c-section I do NOT want anyone but my husband to hold her until I can. Those are my only two sticking points. Otherwise, however she gets here.. she gets here and I will be extremely happy. ;)The Many Thoughts of a Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12261949837343560602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272432864456491078.post-33952752388975986792011-04-15T11:59:30.448-04:002011-04-15T11:59:30.448-04:00Aw geez, Mike, you made me cry.

Mama G is a remarkable woman, and I am so proud of her, not only for handling Carina's birth with grace, but for handling life in general the same way. <br /><br />Great advice, Missie. I hope someone will read it and take it to heart.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645982057363906668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272432864456491078.post-51000111856931015162011-04-15T08:44:05.159-04:002011-04-15T08:44:05.159-04:00I felt the same way having an unplanned c/s :( I&...I felt the same way having an unplanned c/s :( I'm still upset about it and can't believe that's how my baby was born.

At the end of the day the birth plan is just a wish list, Things happen and things never go according to plan especially birth. Have you seen my birth story. So not what I had hoped for either. But I think I handled it well. The only thing that matters is that Carina was born safe and that you have healed nicely. Oh and that she is perfect and precious too!mari2003/ TwinskMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00628106655495092070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272432864456491078.post-88141372384124429742011-04-15T01:08:02.999-04:002011-04-15T01:08:02.999-04:00I am a new follower from the blog hop!

I have never been more proud or more in awe of someon.e that I was when she took a moment to gather herself in light of everything just as she was being admitted, and then went on fearlessly and with grace to bring our beautiful little girl into this world about eighteen hours later.<br /><br /> Ladies ( I don't think men other than me read this), Mama G is quite a woman, and she's not bad looking either ;)<br /><br />- MMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06780614869574701275noreply@blogger.com
