Noa's Birth Story

Today, my baby is four. Our family tradition is to tell you your birth story before your birthday, so I started whispering things to her for the past 44+ hours. One of the benefits of a long labor is time to think. Most women really panic at the thought of a long labor, but honestly, I preferred it. I went to the grocery, I went to the mall, I rented a breast pump... I even went to a birthday party for a friend's 5 year old. (When I lost my mucus plug, I went home!)

So come read about Noa's birth and celebrate with us!
