I am sure most of you have seen the Breast Crawl video.  I just watched it again.  Very cool!

So, last night my daughters (1,4) and I watched Orgasmic Birth during PinkPeas movie night.  It was a great movie depicting normal birth.  Isabela, my four year old will surely be a midwife by the time she is twelve.  She helped to catch her baby sister and has stated that she does not need our midwives help in catching this baby.  She enjoys listening to "baby sounds" and palpating moms bellies during prenatal times.  She loves watching birth videos and asks for them at home like other children ask for their favorite cartoon.  She is a birth advocate

Sharalyn said, "Wow! That is just never going to be me."  

Ditto!

Our daughter Isabela was born September 14, 2004. Isabela was born in the hospital. We had the best hospital birth experience one could pray to have and we will never do it again God willing! I like to say that we really just paid to rent the room at the hospital, they left us alone for the most part which is exactly what we wanted. For that money we could have had her at the Four Seasons!

So, here is Liliana's birth story as written by my amazing wonderful midwife Corrine, I love hearing it from your perspective! I will preface it by saying this was our first homebirth, our amazing daughter Isabela was born naturally in the hospital. My husband will say that the most powerful aspect of our homebirth as compared with our hospital birth was how empowered we were as parents.
