Sigh.  So sit back, relax, and I hope you enjoy reading this story as much as I enjoyed living it, lol. xxxx (more…)

Here is the second beautiful installment in our monthly Real Life Birth Story series, written by the lovely Rita, mother of a very handsome one year old boy.  I hope you love reading her story as much as I do xxxx   I was booked in for a Caesarian close to my due date, and being a first baby I (naively) believed that most first-borns always arrived late.
