Topic: Beautiful birth story Posted: 12 February 2010 at 8:47am |
My friend just sent me a link to one of the most beautiful birth stories I have ever read. I have just finished crying and thought I would share with you ladies.
Nella
And how beautiful the mother looks at birth should be a crime!

Wow!
I think that really does go to show that you can plan things down to the most insane detail but when it comes to the miracle of bringing life into this world you really do not know what is going to happen.

Yes a beautiful story.
I think she looks brilliant, having just given birth and all. If I looked that fantastic I think I would deserve a crown too. No need to be such a dork about it Bizzy.

Wow, what a great story. That baby of hers is so cute, I want to squeeze her.
I agree about the crown, if I looked that amazing after a) giving birth and b) getting the biggest shock of my life I'd be proud to wear a crown

Caitlyn's stepmum sent this to me the other day , their boy was born a week before Tyler ( so lucky C got 2 brothers in a fortnight ) and was diagnosed with DS at 6 weeks, so this story is obviously quite special to her, I thought it was one ,if not ,the , most beautiful birth stories i've read , the part where she describes her daughter looking up saying " I know im not what you expected, but please, oh please, love me " gave me chills , what a beautiful way to describe it .
What a fantastic family , that baby is very lucky .
And by the looks of it, so are they

Awww, that was a beautiful story. I even had a tear or two... and I don't cry at 'touching' stories. I think she described her reaction so well - it felt so real, not all fake and sugar-coated. And that last photo is just adorable.

If my mum wasn't here, I'd be a blubbering mess!! But I don't want to cry like that in front of her , but my OHH my what an awesome story, and beautiful photos!!!
I love how planned she was with it all, the wine glasses with baby's name of them, and how nice to have all her friends there during it all, and looking all so glam!

LOL!
i didnt even know my kids name, let alone be prepared enough to have wine glasses and gifts with their name ready to go. super organised is what i call that! i was reminded of my labour wih gabriel tho when i had my nieces and nephews in the suite practising breathing methods with me! It certainly wasnt planned tho.

Beautiful story, Americans seem to do birth differently - the favours, the glasses and dozens of people would do my head in.
If they knew it was going to be a girl, how come they didn't know she was going to be DS before the birth?

She said in another blog entry that they had declined any testing. I think they had a scan when they had a scare but it would have just been to check baby was ok.
