I loved the way you wrote Ava's birth story. I didn't know you were keeping the gender a surprise. Did you do that with Brooks too? <br /><br />The thing I love the most about the story is that it's about your choice to have a natural birth and breastfeed. Way to go girl.

You are SUCH an inspiration to me. I know I've said it before, but seriously, you are. I think you are the most amazing mother, and you have a way with words that is a true gift. This story belongs in a book...perfect descriptions of moments and those awesome feelings leading up to the birth that are sometimes so very hard to convey. I feel so happy to be able to share in this JOYFUL miraculous time...thank you for writing this. And I KNOW Ava will be so happy you did, too. <br /><br />BIG BIG HUGS to you 4.Ashley {hudson's happenings}https://www.blogger.com/profile/06879182008501112932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8949614731237417456.post-91898284098475697882012-05-06T08:54:54.518-07:002012-05-06T08:54:54.518-07:00what a wonderful story haley! this is just simply ...what a wonderful story haley! this is just simply beautiful.

I love the look of hard work and concentration on your beautiful face. You looked stunning while claiming your power as a woman bringing her child into this world! I'm so glad you told the nurse that you just wanted to hold her. Baby belongs on mama when she leaves the womb! I'm so glad you wrote it so soon after the birth, and am so glad you got all those pictures. You will treasure this all your days. This was beautiful. I am filled up!
