Though it was a challenge, this birth was one of the most beautiful experiences in my whole life. I felt like I was surrounded by love and support from everyone in the room, especially from my husband. My husband was so great throughout my labor. While I was pushing, he encouraged me by holding me and whispering in my ear about how I could do this, and that he loved me. When Benedict came out, he became the most beautiful person in the room. Benedict was so calm in the water. He was talking and peeping right away.
