OMG I have been busting to read your story! I'm bawling and laughing and the boys are wondering what's wrong

Just call me amazon woman, goddess of the garden, queen of the backyard birth...

My oath you are! You are an amazing birthing goddess

Well done to you and I hope you are enjoying every second of your babymoon!

Did her name have anything to do with where she was born?

What a truly inspirational birth story!
Thank you so much for sharing garden goddess.

**MummyTummy** · September 22nd, 2009, 02:27 PM

Wow! Awesome and truly inspirational. Your story is just so empowering to women everywhere, and especially your attitude throughout the whole labour, starting with not wanting to run out on your ds when he was so sick and ending with your baby nude and unwrapped on you.

You deserve the nicknames you gave yourself.... now I want to see your BB nickname change to Goddess of the Garden!
