Our birth story

[lucky_lotus]

December 11, 2008 - After 12 hours worth of gas pain type contractions every 10 - 20 minutes that stopped at dinner time, I read through my hypnobirthing book about “overdue” pregnancies. The only real reason I could figure out for going past my “due date” was my fear of the hospital and my fear of induction, so I decided I’d call my hypnobirthing

Every Mother has a birth story to tell and you have a wonderful one with an excellent outcome! The night Leo was born there was the biggest, brightest full moon! It was beautiful!
I was also told that Dec 12 is the Feast day of Our Lady of Guadalupe (and I chose her shrine to light a candle in front of for some reason in Saint Patrick's Cathedral in Manhattan to pray for a safe delivery for you and Leo a few days before!

Also Dec 12 is Frank Sinatra's birthday!
:-)

We can't wait to see you and Vin & hold Leo!
Love, Pat

i love that you wrote out your birth story. i, of course, still have a million questions that i want to ask you, but it was very interesting to read how it went that day.

i love you so much and i am beyond ecstatic that vinny has you as his wife and leo has you as his mother. you mean the world to me and i couldn't be happier to have you as my sister in law (just a reminder, since you know how i feel about you <3). we're all so lucky and blessed!
