The Story of Hadley's Birth

My pregnancy was perfect, except for the fact that I was terrified of actually giving birth. I was unable to even think about it until I was 8 months pregnant. I tried to read the chapters in the books about giving birth early on, but they made me sweaty, panicky and sleepless. So I gave it up. All I could hear in my head were the thousands of stories of other births and the numerous complications that could happen. Everyone has their own story of birthing their babies and all of them terrified me.

I ended up being worked up over nothing. My birth experience was amazing. DG and I talk about it all time and how much fun it was. This week, I am going to begin a six part series on the nitty gritty details of our birth story beyond just how big she was. So stay tuned...or maybe this is TMI and you will want to stay away. No wait, it won't be gory, I promise.
