You story is helping tons with my own Fear and self-doubt stage! I'll probably re-read it over and over :-)) Have a doc's appt this afternoon, surely he'll talk of induction again. Already 3 doctors made it clear I need to be induced so I am doubting myself big time. And the little one shows no indications of being in a hurry to be out. Just hoping to get a supportive and kind L&D nurse - that, I think, would make a huge difference.. I've met a few when going in for monitoring, and some are just polite but seemed very distant and probably thinking I'm a pain in the butt for defying doctors :-(
ok, sorry to put this all in comment here, this is your place of celebration! Again, I am so very happy for you and inspired!
no problem, i wish I could help somehow and if my birth story is actually helpful to you - that is way more than I was hoping for!
Is it too late to go talk to a CNM (or whatever they are in Canada?) I know you're talking to Katya and she's very good, but perhaps seeing someone in person would also be reassuring?
Spasibo! Papa vsio esho ne sdaiotsya i nastaivaet na drugom imeni, no za 3 nedeli ya uje ne mogu predstavit' nichego drugogo. (Kstati, papa stoit na "Sone", hotya imya Maria toje ego ideya byla).
Olechka, what a powerful story!! I read it all in all of its details and it almost felt like I was right there in the room with you!
She's a beauty! And what a beautiful name. What's funny - on my drive home today I was thinking of a name "Maria", and then got home and saw your post that you named your little one Maria :) Funny coincidence :)
How are the brothers treating their new little sis? I'm sure they are in love already!
Well, it would be kind of cool if you had a Maria in the family as well :)) If I remember though, you announce names once the baby is born, right? I'm eager to hear your story and the name you choose!
Papa actually hasn't "signed off" on the name, though it was his idea all along with all three pregnancies, but when push came to shove he generated other ideas as well.
The brothers are so great, esp Kolya. Grisha is in turmoil of emotions, but he can't quite pinpoint the reason - meaning, he hasn't started blaming *her* for all the changes in his life.
