I was going to write a bit but suffice it to say that I'm tired. And happy. 26 hours of labor, 14 of them active, the pool was a lifesaver, Tim was a treasure, I love my midwives and doula, and I've done it. I've given birth to a perfectly perfect little being. It was really, really hard. Words can't really explain what this whole thing is like. We adore him.
More later, when I get some shuteye.

So amazing...the birth of a new little person never gets old. I love the photo of him surrounded by hands...such love and protection. And of course, the photo of food...I remember being so ravenous after 32 hours of labor. I ate two meals! You did good...he is perfect. And you are glowing.
