I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this three part Hypnobabies birth story.
Part 1: Baking of the Cake on a Normal Afternoon
While we were running around in the kitchen we timed a few of them and they were about a minute long and 4-5 minutes apart. When I felt one coming, I’d lean on the counter and sway until it started to go away. Things were still so casual I decided we should make some buttercream frosting and ice Robert’s birthday cake we’d made the day before. When I started working on it, Jordan said “we are NOT making frosting for a cake right now!” He thought it sounded ridiculous. But I told him we didn’t have anything better to do.
Part 2: Moving to the Birth Tub and Pushing the Baby Out
Seriously, birth is always a surprise. Even the third time. He was born at 7:17 pm, during one of the final scenes of Peter Pan, after about 20-30 minutes of pushing. It was about an hour and a half after we finished his birthday cake, which makes me laugh.
Part 3: Jenny Shares Her Favorite Pictures from the birth (They are SO sweet!)
This was actually during the most intense part, just a few minutes before Robert was born. I love this one so much!
I love this one so much too! Jenny used Hypnobabies for her birth. Thanks for sharing your inspirational story with the world!
Thanks for sharing my story! It was such an amazing day, I never get tired of talking about it 🙂
Thank YOU for sharing. 🙂
Such a sweet story! I was running around chasing my almost 2 year old, trying to cut her hair the evening before my second child was born at 6 AM. This story reminded me of that.
Oh I love this! Off to read the rest of the story 🙂 Thanks for posting!
