Morning Michelle! I guess my vote is for Multiple Mom from Friday's showcase. I cried when I read that story. I cried for the tiny life lost , but also for the three that were struggling to live.
I also want to comment on the mom that has 9 kids that was showcased with my story, way to go , more power to ya!!
MaBunny
Gosh, this is HARD. I really want to vote for MY story, but there were better ones out there. (DANG IT) I really must "give it up" for Beth - a home birth with no druge, no doctor, and then going to the hospital ALONE?!? Yep, Beth has to get my vote.
(In my very best Eeyore voice:)Guess I'll just have to buy my own bracelet...LOL
Oops, I meant to type "drugs" NOT "drugE".
I, too, really really wanted to vote for my own story, but really and truly it is only spectacular to me. I vote for Multiple Mom because she demonstrates the strength I don't believe that I would have had in her situation. She is a great example of God's mercy, tenderness and grace. May God continue to shower blessing upon her family!
I'm going to be selfish and vote for my own story!!! I vote for me, Beth!
The others are great and I cannot imagine having been in some of those labor/birthing rooms!
Thanks!
I'm voting for Karla. They are all great stories but I have a special bond with those c-section mommies!
All the baby stories are FANTASTIC but the one that made me cry was multiple mom T... I can't imagine the pain the joy all in one! Kudos to all some i could relate to all too well!
Hugs Laura

I loved all the stories and am really happy that I wrote about mine in my blog. Now the real stories can be handed down for generations when I am too senile to remember!
I am voting for Multiple Mom T for her strength!
LeAnne voted for me here.
I vote for Beth! A home birth!
I have to vote for Beth. Those unexpected home births just give me the willies!
I have to vote for my friend, Beth!
I also vote for Multiple Mom!!!
I VOTE FOR BETH'S STORY!!!!!!
I'm going with Multiple Mom, too. That was the most precious story of sadness and loss and love and growth and putting together again.
My vote definately goes to Multiple Mom T
I vote for Karla.
spermman.
I want to make sure it's obvious to everyone that that vote is from my husband.
(I'll vote myself after dinner)
I'd like to vote for Multiple Mom T ... I've known her for almost 5 years now, and she is a wonderful woman who has been through sooo much!

I'll admit I'm shameless & voting for myself, alanem :)
However, I think that beth's story is amazing & multiple mom's is close to my heart cos I have twins.
Thanks for the fun contest & all you ladies are winners!!
I vote for Multiple Mom T!

I vote for ma_bunny. All of the stories are wonderful. However, I'm married to ma_bunny so I lived this one :) Not to mention the fact that I have to live with her so if I voted for anybody else I'd be in big trouble!!
I'm voting for my best friend,Mabunny. She had a very difficult pregnancy from start to finish, but I'm sure she would say it was all worth it because they have such a wonderful daughter that makes their life such a joy!
I vote for mabunny
Her Mom Diane
First of all, I thought all the stories were great.
Destini - I can't believe you had the old 'mistaken identity' trick.
Kalynne - I knew yours was going to be a fun read just based on quantity. And also knowing you.
AlaneM - I guess my story was similar to yours, though without all the drama of yours.
MaBunny - Unbelievable story - God has really blessed you.
Beth - You are definitely stiff competition with the at home birth. I was honored to be showcased alongside your story.
Julie - I love stories about the 'little extras' in life and enjoyed that particular feature about your story.
...but Multiple Mom T gets my vote! I am sorry for your loss. I can't believe you wrote that gem in the midst of all you were going through at that time. I guess it probably helped.
Thanks most of all to Michelle for the excellent contest!
I wish I had known about your baby story contest. My story sounds exactly like your baby story. I almost bled to death after delivering the boys. They were born at 29 weeks and were taken right away to save their lives (Sam was 2 pounds 14 oz. and Jon was 3 pounds). I started bleeding and they couldn't stop it. My cervic tore and they still don't know why. It was very tense in the room (with a lot of STAT being yelled by the doctor - stat get me this, stat get me that, stat get me another doctor to help me!) George just stood there thinking I was going to die. Long story short, they did get the bleeding stopped and I recovered with lots of blood transfusions and high doses of iron. Since I was bleeding, they didn't take the time to make sure all the placenta was out and a month later I started bleeding profusely again and had to have emergency surgery. Not a fun delivery story, but I've got two beautiful boys.
I forgot to vote - I vote for Multiple Mom T - since I had twins and almost lost them and now what life in the NICU is like.
It looks like the winner has already been chosen but I will add my 2 cents and vote for Julie & Puckey. Good luck, everyone. Thanks for all of the giggles and tears. Theresa
