BOY!
Born at home this morning at 1:20 a.m.
Weight: 7 lbs., 15 oz. Length: 20 1/4"
Birth story... we had been planning a home birth with my amazing midwife, Dotti. Labor started up around midnight and began to progress VERY quickly. Everything went so fast that Dotti wasn't able to get here before it was time to push. Luckily, she was able to talk Troy through everything he needed to do to "deliver" our baby. Everything went smoothly for myself and baby... and Daddy is our hero!!! He stayed calm and did a great job of keeping me calm as well. Some of the medical personnel of our volunteer fire department even came over just after the baby was born in case the baby needed oxygen. It was comforting to have them here while waiting on my midwife.
We are all still in shock as to how fast this baby came into the world. All is well here, we're just a bit tired. Here are just a few pics we took. (We'll be adding more soon.)
