Dude you had a compound presentation birth NATURALLY! YOU ROCK!!!!  Did you know at my old hospital man women got a c/s when that was found out if baby wasn't out in 30min?! *rollseyes*
He is sooooo handsome and I'm so happy Eric not only got to BE there for this one but got to CATCH!!! How amazing. Don't feel bad about yelling at the nurse---- I think we use it as a vital sign during labor 
So glad HB worked so well for you again!!! I'm sure if that little stinker wasn't trying to wave to you that last 2cm wouldn't have been as difficult.
CONGRATS ON YOUR HANDSOME MAN!!! And I LOVE LOVE LOVE THE NAME!

I really enjoyed every detail of your story. I found myself so wrapped up in it and having visions that that was exactly what I wanted my birthing experience to be like. You did a fantastic job and Eli is beautiful! The photos were great!

I'm totally hoping that I can have a natural birth although I have done nothing to prepare for it as far as hypnobirthing or any tranquil techniques. I'm just going to wing it!
