I'll have to call and talk to you post delivery drama.

You explained it all so well and you'll love reliving that later as you start to forget some of those details. And I have to disagree: those pictures of you right after delivering Mr. Kaden are stunningly beautiful! You cannot replace that look of pure joy and love with any amount of makeup! I loved reading this!Janellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10416293323018611014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15331619.post-61206537074762867642010-08-25T19:55:17.078-07:002010-08-25T19:55:17.078-07:00Its a good thing we are such good friends or other...Its a good thing we are such good friends or otherwise I wouldn't of read your story, but I always read your stories, I love the way you write.

Hard to believe little Cameron is that old to go off to his mission.

Congratulations on not swearing! I made it to an 8, too, without an epidural, but I wasn't nearly as ladylike as you were.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16385940975983297035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15331619.post-13211175695803962592010-08-23T10:58:59.197-07:002010-08-23T10:58:59.197-07:00oh katie, your story totally made me cry. babies a...oh katie, your story totally made me cry. babies are miracles, that is for sure, and the moment they arrive is absolutely amazing. wow! i'm glad you didn't end up needing a c-section and got relief from the blessed epidural. i love all the pictures and little kaden is so sweet. loved the poem too, thanks for sharing. love you girl!<br /><br />and ps- i've heard it's a myth about epidurals slowing down labor. for my sister in law, it actually sped it up. she was dialating very slowly until she got her epidural. her body was then able to relax and she dialated very quickly. i guess everyone's different with these things.Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06486986186514094165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15331619.post-65085639016776638322010-08-23T07:51:13.266-07:002010-08-23T07:51:13.266-07:00Thanks Kate for sharing your story since I wasn...Thanks Kate for sharing your story since I wasn't able to be there with therest of my family.

I started crying when they told me they were inducing me even though I had known from week 29 there was basically no chance I would get to go into labor on my own. It is a scary thing when you hear so many horror stories! We also weren't newborn people but it is truly amazing what happens when you have your own baby to cuddle.Crystal and Rosariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10527997341118574855noreply@blogger.com
