I had my baby 11-18 also (2010) and she was also posterior (my first was too) so I don't know what its like to not labor and deliver a posterior baby! I hope to learn someday :) CONGRATS!

Congratulations and what a beautiful baby!

Beautiful post and images, Patty-jean! I agree, starting labour with the water breaking is NOT fun! I'm glad you made it through! He is beautiful!

Wow! You did it again. Another beauty - looks so much like the others. Will look forward to hearing more about it when you're recovered. Way to go, girl!

Such a little Saint-Hilaire! What a beautiful face - and so alert! I love the pics of him with the girls. So proud of you, for making healthy decisions for his birth even though it was so hard. Thanks for posting this for all our enjoyment.

Congratulations on your newest little blessing! You have been such an encouragement to me since I was at Prov Arts Camp with Uncle Kevin all those years ago - inspiring me to look into things like slings and reducing chemicals. I went home after my last summer there and sewed myself a sling to use with my cousins and looked into all sorts of "green" things that I am continuing to use and pursue now at university. Reading your birth stories has encouraged me as I shape my views and opinions about how I want to live and how to best honour my creator through my life. I remember you writing that you wished you could have witnessed a birth before you had your own children, and since then I have been hoping to be able to experience this. My aunt is having a homebirth in January and I get to go, which I am excited about and your post has made me even more excited. So thank you for the encouragement, even though I doubt you knew you were doing it! Enjoy your new little guy :)

Well, it certainly sounds like number four brought out a side of you that you didn't know you had. I've always known you were a strong woman but this birth seems to have increased your resolve to stand firm in God's goodness, thus revealing another aspect to the word strong.

He is beautiful and so very well loved. A straight, healthy arrow in your little quiver.

He is beautiful! Congratulations, and hope your recovery goes well.

My 2nd son (this past Feb) was such an intense labour too. Although not near as long as yours. I agree that having our waters broken makes a huge difference! My first wasn't broken until I was pushing, and the 2nd was broken to get labour to pick up speed. And that it certainly did. :P

Praise God for Israel's safe arrival!
