Nothing will ever come close to the pride I feel about his birth! Absolutely NOTHING!

I included the last 20 of my birth. I made this video for @cocky_gage & I to look back on. It's a long video so I included starting times if people want to skip ahead to certain parts.
▫ Birth story
▫ Q&A
▫ Birth video
▫ Griffin's emergence
▫ Third stage (placenta birth)
▫ first facetime with grandma
I wanted to watch all the beautiful rest periods where I was traveling the cosmos to go find and bring home our son. That stage of labor lasted 2 hrs. He crowned for the last 45 min or so. In and out. Slowly preparing both our bodies for his emergence.

This experience transformed my family and brought my husband and I closer than ever imaginable - a trust and intimacy that could NEVER be achieved in any other way.

I didn't have any wants or expectations for my birth...birth is birth. You can't plan it or predict it.  Animals don't carry out plans. They're too busy being animals.

Although I did know what I DIDN'T want:
-No one telling me what to do or telling Gage what to do for me.
-No one's hands inside my body except for MY OWN.
-No monitoring my baby's heart beat and pressure to speed things up.
-No IV fluids diluting my birthing hormones.
-No degrading hospital gown that someone likely died in.
-No having to talk or think or answer questions while laboring.
-No one breaking my water.
-No one telling me when and how to push.
-No one cutting me to "save the stuck baby" since he crowned for over 30 min
-No rushing, fundal "massage" or pitocin to birth my placenta 
-No stitches to close my tears
