My decision to have a VBAC Twin Unassisted Homebirth

Jacob and I went through alot of contemplating about how to have these precious babies.
In the end, the only way I could feel complete peace about the birth was to do it at home,
again unassisted. I felt God would have me birth these precious babes without all the unnecessary interventions(atleast, I feel they are unnecessary, much of the time). As my friend
stated to me and I personally feel, God is THE BEST midwife! Still, we had not much time and
alot of thinking, praying, preparing, and studing to do to be ready for such an undertaking.

I did a lot of studing on the internet, a lot of healing within and practising how I wanted this birth
to be. I still didn't feel totally prepared, but... I felt I had done my part on being ready and
God would do the rest. Mainly, I wanted a Christ-centered birth. I wanted to feel his spirit there.
I wanted peace. I wanted to relish the feeling of how sacred and special birth is. I wanted to have
my faith, my trust in God strengthened. I decided the word I wanted to focus on was "Surrender". I wanted to surrender myself to God and have the most beautiful birth that was right for myself and these babies to grow in the way God would have us to.
