I've got to tell you, I'm not normally one who gets super gushy over kid stories (or weddings, for that matter). But, this statement: The labor was 14 hours with 15 minutes of pushing, and it was the best and most painful experience of my entire life. ... kind of got me choked up. Amazing, girl - you did good!

Congrats again, Larissa! I'm so happy that the la...

Yippee! I'm so proud of you guys. Larissa, way to go you powerful woman. You give the rest of us ladies the confidence that we too can have a natural birthing experience if we so choose. Steve, I'm sure you were an awesome "dudela" and gave Larissa all the support and nurturing that she needed. Congrats! Way to go Team Marks!

2009-05-14T11:28:00.000-07:00

I'm so very proud of you! I knew you could do it. :) Well done Mama.

The best thing about natural births is that you get to truly appreciate that feeling of euphoria when suddenly your little person is here, and the pain is all gone!!

He's gorgeous, and despite that you must have been exhausted, you look great too.

Enjoy these first few months. Although sometimes trying, they go so quickly.

Congratulations! You're amazing and I've been looking forward to this blog post for days...haha! 14 hours of intense menstrual cramps? EEK! But I'm glad to hear that you thought it was the most painful yet BEST experience of your life. It encourages me to give it a try! :P Anyways, I can't wait to meet your precious baby son! I'll definitely come over sometime before SummerCon! Congrats again... I applaud you Mommy! :)

I'm a ways off from having children, but reading your birthing story makes me a little less nervous about the entire experience. Thanks so much for sharing!

I am so happy for you, Larissa! I'm also in awe of you! haha. What can I say? Childbirth terrifies me, but you make it sound totally do-able. I'm amazed, really and truly amazed. Aaron is gorgeous and you guys are the cutest little family of three. Many, many congrats to you, momma!
