Nicole! What a spectacular birth story!!! That’s so cool your hospital is more homeopathic – so very jealous. Isn’t it funny you just had that feeling to snuggle a little more with your son? I love that you were able to soak up those last minutes. Thanks for sharing everything and reading along. I truly appreciate it!

I totally related to a lot of parts of it; especially where you describe saying goodbye to your daughter and acknowledging this was the last time you would be the mom of one! This really tugged at my heartstrings <3 I too was a SAHM for almost 4 years before my son was born, and felt the same way.
Loved you mentioning the importance of self-care at the end, it's important to get sleep and care for yourself, I don't think we realize how essential this is until we have our second (+more lol).

I too love a good birth story 🙂 here's my 3rd in a nutshell:
I was snuggling with my son (then 2.5), in the early hours on Wednesday (28.dec.2016). He woke up around 3am and wanted me to lay next to him. I just had this feeling like I needed to soak these moments in because soon our little one would be here. Sure enough, 2 hours later I woke up to my water breaking. As this happened with my son too, I sort of knew what to expect. A few hours later we were at the hospital, without much progress so my parents came to care for my eldest daughter and son, and I had to stay at the hospital overnight as there was zero progress.
My hospital was very pro-homeopathic, using natural methods to induce labor (super thankful for this), so we tried all possible things, but nothing really worked 100%. On the morning of the 30th,as it had been 48hr since my water broke, I agreed to pitocin, and this finally made things move along. I labored in the birthing tub, which I thought I would hate, but I really loved. I went from like 2cm to 10cm in like 45mins, nobody believed me when I said I felt like I needed to push!! Finally the nurse agreed to check me and was like, yep it's time! A few pushes later (not in the tub lol) my littlest was born and alhamdulillah everything was perfect 🙂
My favourite moment was spending New Years's Eve alone with my baby in the hospital room and watching the fireworks…such a peaceful moment I will treasure forever (literally-as I took a video lol). While everyone was out celebrating the year that passed, I was celebrating my beautiful little baby <3
