It will always be the year I had a baby in my home, big sisters in the birthing pool, honey on a spoon, cups of tea going cold while I roared and swore the baby out. It will always be the year I held on tight to Rob, and he lifted me and took my weight and stayed awake too long. It will always be the year my friends came round and talked to me while I breathed through contractions, when I learned what my body does without medical distraction.

I'm so very glad it went well. I don't like it when you're hurt and sad and scared.

YAY! You were one of the great inspirations for my two homebirths, and I'm glad you got to experience one, too.

I didn't want a hospital birth at *all*. (I was hospital-averse before I ever thought about children, but between your experience and my encounter with a homebirth midwife in Florida, it was going to take a medical emergency before I wished for hospital interventions.)
