I finally posted my birth novel! It's seriously LONG. I think I might take the cake for one of the longest ever on JM. haha. I also did up a cliff notes version for those of you are interested but don't have that kind of time. Anyway, thought I'd share --

http://www.justmommies.com/forums/f1...l#post18733289 (The birth of Miss Lily Rose 1-15-10 - quite possibly the longest birth story ever! ha)

You are an amazing momma and woman, Shannon! I'm so proud of you! I've been on mag sulfate and I've had a NCB but never both at the same time, I shudder to think of being on mag during birthing.

Your birth story was inspiring and brought tears to my eyes! You did an excellent job, mama! I second that the recovery is awful, but believe me, every day gets better until you eventually feel normal again. I hope you and Ben are enjoying that precious little girl!

Wow Shannon! I LOVED your birth story! It definitely makes my baby fever worse. Labor and delivery is one of my favorite parts LoL. I didn't have a baby catcher for Rylie either and I had no pain meds and it was excruciating to try and keep her in for 20 mins until my midwife finished delivering another patient! Good job mama!

It's great you wrote so much now, your memory of some of it will fade quickly. Great pictures!

You should be proud, mama

That was a beautiful birth story!!! Now I have labor fever! Seriously though you are superwoman Shannon! I cant believe all you went through and still had a NCB, im not even kidding that is so inspiring. Ever since joining JM ive wanted a NCB but always feel like I wont be one of those women who can handle it...but after reading all you went through and still were able to handle it, im even more set on having one! Congratulations again, you really deserve it!

Lily is just so beautiful and so is your whole little family!

Already posted on your birth story page.. But I'm wanting an update on how things are going at home! When you get a chance.. How is Lily sleeping, nursing? How are you feeling and how is sleep for you?
