Our daughter, Maggie, is 18 months old and, thanks in part to your videos, knows literally hundreds of signs - she is also extremely verbal (I've lost track of the number of words she knows) and we credit her early use of sign language with her verbal abilities. (She started signing at 7 months!) We're looking forward to using sign with our second child, too, who is due in February. We sat center stage for your Denver show (well, during the second half, we moved to the floor and Maggie kept edging closer to the stage). She was a little starstruck and didn't sign or say much while you were performing but once you turned and walked off, she came running over to me and said, "Rachel?" And we told her how you had to go bye-bye on an airplane to help with the new baby...and the rest of the day, she kept saying "Achel...airplane...bye-bye!" After her nap, the "Achel" references continued, until she looked at me and started saying, "Rachel...miss her" in a very sad voice. Even this morning, the first thing she said upon awaking was - you guessed it! - "Achel? Signing?" Now she loves Signing Time! more than ever! So I know it was a hardship for you to make it here but our family thanks you for your efforts. And of course we want to hear about the new baby! Thanks again, Jessica Hi Rachel,
I wanted to take a moment and thank you for getting up at 1:30 in the morning and making the long trek to Denver – I know you must have been exhausted but we loved seeing you perform!

I had a Bradley Birth with Leah and it was an incredible experience. I know it does not work for everyone, but I was glad to know how strong I am and what I am capable of. rperet: Thanks!

It's great to have people trained in natural birth, since it's becoming a rarity lately! Congrats on becoming a Bradley Birth Coach!

See, Marcus would kill me if anything birth related got on that sweater! LOL <strong>thislittlemamastayedhome:</strong> I know most people think it is a typo but it is pretty serious bragging rights. Lucy and I had fetal surgery for spina bifida at 22 weeks gestation. It sounds very Sci-fi and probably is. At 22 weeks I had a c-section and they delivered my uterus, kept Lucy inside and performed surgery on her inutero. 10 weeks of strict bed rest later, I went into unstoppable labor and Lucy was born via c-section on May 19, 2000. 2 c-sections in 10 weeks. Want to walk down memory lane? visit www.geocities.com/ra_ron and you can read my entire pregnancy journal from that experience. <strong>Googsmom:</strong> The good news is I am here IN Oregon tonight. Natalie did not have a single contraction today! Looking forward to meeting you and Brook VERY soon!

I have 12 people just dying to see you in concert. One is my little Brook. I've been telling her all week she gets to see Rachel. She smiles but I don't really think she understands, shes 2 ;) Jennifer & Brook Oh Please don’t miss Oregon. I have 12 people just dying to see you in concert. One is my little Brook.

LOL Also loved the imaginary fan email regarding that--I can totally see that actually happening! People can be so funny at times. It's so great that you can be there for your family and friends this way. I'm sure they appreciate having you by their side. 2 C-sections with Lucy? How does that happen? I had 2 C-sections, but for 2 different kids. Sorry, not trying to pry, but you did (wink) bring it up. :-) Good luck with the flying and the coaching! Sarah I like that “I’ll be your coach, if you’ve been my friend for 20 years”–very appropriate. LOL

That made me tired just reading it! Sounds like you're going to have a crazy weekend. I hope Natalie waits until you get home to pop! Hey Rachel... will you be my birth coach? :D Wow.
