I am very grateful that this has been my most restful postpartum yet-my husband really saved up his personal days off so that he's at home twice as long as usual for the immediate postpartum. That, coupled with visits from friends and relatives, has been a game-changer!

This active labor was my shortest yet, so if and when God sends us any more kids, I'm interested to see if it keeps going quickly towards the end or if my body decides to slow things down!

I agree, it's awesome how home births "normalize" birth. It's neat to see that, at least for Peter (the 4 year old), birth isn't some mysterious & foreign thing, but that it's natural and beautiful and awesome. And I agree, Jacob is a total rockstar! I don't think I'll ever forget the image of him kneeling onAnneMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13462442204217572325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2758330335100037759.post-40573328932995787102020-08-31T15:43:40.987-05:002020-08-31T15:43:40.987-05:00This is beautiful!

Your children's lives weren't disrupted and mommy didn't have to go away which to me always stresses me out. Jacob is a ROCKSTAR! And you are so strong! Thank you for sharing!!!Deminoreply@blogger.com
