I was lying in my bath tonight thinking about how I labored with 3 of my 4 children in this very same bathroom (different tub same room) and then it occurred to me: I have had all 4 kids with no drugs, not a single thing.
I am not bragging.
I just don't know how I did it,
I am in total awe of my pain tolerance...seriously I DO NOT know how I did it (I'm the girl that gets hurt on a daily bases). Did I psych myself up during the 9 months (is that why we are pregnant that long), was it because I used mid-wife's, or was it Gordon's refusals to take me to the hospital when I begged?

For what ever the reason, I am grateful for each one of those experiences and know that I am better from them.
I do want to know what you think is the reason...be honest!

That pic is of me pregers with Ian. We were in the middle of re-modeling; I made sure the tub was in and worked before his arrival.

This is what I think...You are a very strong willed person. When you make up your mind, that's it. Gordan is your follow through. It's a beautiful team.
I just think it was a Christmas miricle.
You are very brave, Me...not so much!
Yes, the 9 month lead-up does give us the energy and the desire to do whatever it takes to get the job done. But, I also think you're an "eye on the prize" kind of girl- meaning, I want to meet my baby and I'll do this crazy-seeming thing if I really have to. But just make sure you give me my amazing baby when it's all over :). I don't know how you did it home the first time, though. That was the scariest one for me...
I am just so happy to see someone elses house all torn up.
And I think you are very brave.
If you want something bad enough you will do it. Plus, you have Gordon. I agree with Alicia.
Dwija, have you had any of your kid's at home?
Very Determined are you!! You go girl! Having anymore?...I'm determined too but I don't know if I could have done it...I didn't get a choice.
I think I am very done with having babies
I like how the only things in the bathroom are the tub and the scale. The bare essentials.
we didn't even have a wall between the room's, but I had my scale!!!
I haven't, but I think if we have a 4th (and I hope we will someday!) I'm going to see about doing it at home. This last trip to the hospital was totally pointless, and laboring in the van was definitely not my idea of a good time :)
