Finally.... Dylan Thomas arrives!

rae_dylanzmom · April 2011

So we finally had Dylan Thomas on April 13! What joy.

Our birth was different from our plan in every way possible. A month of early labor that never progressed - what a test of our patience and demonstration of our lack of control. Our home birth became a hospital induction, which then became a cesarian birth after 10 hours of pitocin and still no active labor.

Despite the complete upheaval of our plans, it was the most joyous birth I can imagine. The OR was full of laughter and tears of joy. We discovered a lot about letting go of our attachment to expectations and about embracing our reality.
