    Thank you so much for sharing your story, Lindsay and Neil! I love that you are able to show people that birthing is not a terrifying experience. You are definitely an inspiration for me when I have my children. I’m so proud of you!

  4. I just love the environment of your birth, from your photos and words…it seems so relaxing and “chill.” What a great environment in which to labor! I love the photo of you three as a family! CONGRATULATIONS!

    Oh and side note, I have that nursing bra and think it’s so cute! 🙂

    Look at YOU in the pictures immediately following her birth! You look SO happy it’s nuts! That is the motivation I need to go this path with baby #2. Baby #1’s birth wasn’t what I wanted it to be— but I still don’t know how you did 30-some hours???? I think I’m reading that right….
