Look at your beautiful baby, Nani. I'm so proud of you. My eyes are all misty.

This is one of my favourite parts:
"While I soaked in the tub and moaned my way through contractions, Nikko woke up and Levi got him breakfast. I was just going through contractions without needing Levi's support, so he just went about his day: taking the trash out, etc."
I know you know exactly what I mean when I say THAT'S what UC is all about. Every part of it. And it's just... amazing.

So, so, so happy for you.

I know! I love everything about this birth... I could not ask for a more perfect UC experience!

Does it sound weird to say I'm proud of you? 'Cause I am

I know what you mean; the popularity of UP/UC lately has been alarming. I can't help but feel skeptical any time someone talks about it now. It feels conceited to say, but I'm proud of myself, too. I never had any second thoughts, not a single moment of doubt. I just trusted completely and utterly, and days later I am still on top of the world!

Oh, she is just so beautiful and you did so well. Congratulations. You must be on top of the world right now.

Thank you! I am on top of the universe right now! I feel so happy and elated, but also I feel fantastic physically, too!

I compleatly understand that feeling! When my second was born, he was over 11 lbs and it was so easy on me physically. I was up and walking right away, went home in 2 hours, ( i had a midwifery birth) and was back to my normal routine within days. Its amazing how good you can feel!
