With the hospital "experience" as my only point of reference, your experience made me cry -- so beautiful and perfect. You knew all along, Sarah, that this was what was right for you and your family. I am impressed and inspired by your confidence. Your strengths are many.

I thought it was perfect how afterwards, you shared a meal together.

I've heard that the "racket" of child birth helps you to find your "voice" and that medicalization of childbirth is a way to... curtail that voice.

Congratulations and thanks so, so much for sharing this. It is a post that I will read over and over again.

Love,
Mary and family

P.S. Ethan is so yummy and Aaron was sweet rubbing your back like that!
