What a beautiful story of the birth. Parenthood is amazing. Isn't it incredible how deeply you can love someone so little? Nobody better mess with that little cubby. Momma bear has some serious claws!! Enjoy every moment with your little man. Best Regards, Jim Miller Erin,

My mom knows your pain, I was a home water birth after a very long labor. What I really want to talk to you about is your book(LOVE IT). I'm almost a teen and I've used some of what is in your book. (I had to set boundaries with 2 of my girlfriends). I'm also going to lend your book to 3 friends and talk to them about your seminar. Do you have programs for young girls? If so sweet, if not, you should start some. YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!! First off, congratultions. My mom knows your pain, I was a home water birth after a very long labor.

As I read it I smiled, crinkled my nose, laughed, cringed (in rememberance)and cried joyful tears over the miracle of Miles Patrick. I love his name! I love you and Peter. You are always in my prayers. Read Psalm 139 again - It will be more meaningful to you now that you are a mother. Dear Erin and Peter, I loved every single detail of your birth story!

My younger sister and I were delivered at home with the midwife on my parents water bed. The interesting thing about me is I was 57 hours of all natural labor. The midwife slept over 3 nights with us. At one point my mom got a fever and was taken to the hospital during labor but then they brought her home where I eventually entered the world 24 years ago. The midwife practiced forever decades and says I was at the top of the longest hours of labor. I guess I wasn't ready for the world. :) Congrats again!

I just want to put it out there that many options exist and "natural" or unmedicated childbirth can look any number of ways, and is not for everyone. There's a feeling that if you use meds you are less a woman, didn't do the best by your child, and that's just ridiculous. 12 and 14 years later, they are here, happy, healthy and unmarred by the way in which they entered the world. You get here the way you get here, it's what happens afterwards that counts. Leslie Erin, I applaud and give thanks for your successful labor and delivery.

Not only to not have drugs in my body when the baby was born, but also because I hate needles. Im happy to hear all is well and congrats!
