As I briefly wrote in the post on the birthing process, Austin was the most amazing coach. I must say, I was worried about the two of us in labor. I thought for sure I would be mean, yelling, bossy and bitchy. And I thought Austin would be sarcastic, funny, joking and playful. We were neither. I’ll spare you the details of myself, although I must say I’m so PROUD of myself, and focus my energy on Austin. To say he was amazing would be an understatement. He was more than I ever thought a birthing coach would be. He was by my side the entire time (which is why many of you were left in the dark wondering what was going on, we’ll have a better system for baby #2-yes, there will be a second). He was there to massage my back, put hot water on my back, time my contractions, move the hair out of my face, find a trash can for me to throw up in, make sure I drank water (even when I didn’t want to), give me food, stand in the shower with me and whisper in my ear. Tears come to my eyes when I think about our 18 hours together. When I think about all he did for me and how much he supported me. I loved every second that brought us closer together. (ok, so many not the painful contraction that kept messing with my back, but you know what I mean). He’s an amazing man, friend, husband and Daddy. I love watching him with Isaac, my heart melts all over again. Getting through 18 hours of hard labor together, makes me realize we can face anything. I thank God for him, that I get to have him as my husband and as the father of our children. I love you Babe!
