Also? I've never said this about a newborn before (because really, they're blobs of sweet-smelling goodness that don't look like anything for awhile), but MY GOD she looks like you.Jess @ Wrangling Chaoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09682383076098747885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170116880352300881.post-45296638937359720252012-11-13T19:59:30.897-08:002012-11-13T19:59:30.897-08:00Congrats, what an amazing birth story!

Also, I would DEFINITELY agree you'd feel even more positively towards it if you'd been allowed to push. And honestly, my mind can't comprehend how you stopped your body from pushing! Isaac was delivered by my nurse and the OB came in some 20 minutes later to deliver the placenta. In regards to Isaac's birth though, I'm so thankful the nurse never said at any point that I should stop from pushing or that I had to wait. She seemed absolutely confident and it wasn't until after he was born that I realized, "Well, wait a minute. That wasn't supposed to happen was it?" Hah! Love the unpredictability of babies being born!<br /><br />SO HAPPY FOR YOUR FAMILY! <br /><br />ps:: Way to go Justin!leah @maritalblesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18034498538466498351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170116880352300881.post-65832613170151412832012-11-13T09:13:56.489-08:002012-11-13T09:13:56.489-08:00Congratulations!!

It's all so movie-like, girl! Love it. Hate that you had to wait to push, but baby Rebecca was probably worth it all x 100. Have fun adjusting to life with a newborn again. ;)Julia Gooliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13784248013181090775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170116880352300881.post-78703111507173380722012-11-12T18:58:40.671-08:002012-11-12T18:58:40.671-08:00Congrats Meredith!

With Em it was IDENTICAL and I pushed her out natural (since they shut my epi off) and the one thing I remember CLEAR AS DAY is that I HAD TO PUSH!!!!!! and they told me NO!!! and I was shaking and kicking my legs to try and STOP. Awful.<br /><br />I'm so glad she's here :) Knew it'd be super fast!Katie @ Loves of Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07841348340467277988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1170116880352300881.post-8331230572927954372012-11-12T17:08:24.551-08:002012-11-12T17:08:24.551-08:00So beautiful.
