"Since this is my last week writing the blog, I thought I&amp;#x27;d open it up to your questions. Even though it&amp;#x27;s been three years of me sharing my life with you, I&amp;#x27;m sure there are things I may have left out or details you&amp;#x27;re still curious about. So, what do you want to know? Stuff about my treatment, my marriage, my past, my future&amp;amp;#8212;whatever! I will try to answer whatever I can as honestly as I can. And since I know one of the things you&amp;#x27;re going to ask about is my giving birth story, I will just give you the very abridged version...I got to the hospital at midnight and was only one or two centimeters dilated. I decided (with the help of some very encouraging docs) to walk around inside the hospital as I went through labor rather than getting into bed with an epidural. I did this&amp;amp;#8212;with Nick by my side&amp;amp;#8212; for two hours and by the time I was officially admitted (at 5 a.m.) and was given a room and an epidural, I was seven centimeters dilated. Labor was rough, but it was doable. And the epidural was heaven. But an hour later&amp;amp;#8212;just as I was gearing up to push&amp;amp;#8212;the meds wore off. Big time. For two and half hours I pushed and cried and asked for more drugs, then agreed to wait every time the doc said I should try without it . I was so deadset against a C-section that I struggled and endured and kept getting convinced not to have the epidural fixed or upped. The whole pushing thing was awful, crazy, disgusting (I am SO not one of those people who think birth&amp;amp;#8212;the nitty gritty birth&amp;amp;#8212;is beautiful). But then Alex came out and as soon as I saw that he was OK, I started cracking jokes and thanking the doctor for not giving me meds. I felt like super woman having survived all that and I was the happiest I think I&amp;#x27;d ever been in my life. Even though I was in pain and being stitched in places you don&amp;#x27;t want to be stitched. That&amp;#x27;s pretty much it! OK, anything else you want to know?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
