Not that birth story ... not yet. This is Ingrid's. Forgive me; two years later, I still can't part with enough of it to get it down to a decent length. (This is the short version.) But here it is, for posterity and for your crazy birth-story-loving selves, if any.
This weird little work-around (back-dating the post and putting a link to it here) is the only way I can figure out to keep the whole huge thing from appearing on page one. All the official Blogger options I can find involve a stupid "read more" link at the bottom of every post, regardless of length. Is this why people switch to Typepad?

Man you got my heart racing with that title.
ReplyDeleteI actually can't STAND to read birth stories. Partly this is because I haven't gone through labor and I guess have conflicted feelings about that. Mostly though it just reminds me of the stress of my own birth and breastfeeding experience which I mostly try not to think about too much. I know a lot of people LOVE to read about births, though, so it's good you have it down, for you and for them! I seem to recall having sort of written mine down, too.

I don't know, but I love Wordpress.
Your birth story was beautifully written. You really managed to capture the mental state of giving birth in a way that I've never managed to put into words. Thank you for sharing!
