I’m kind of wondering why I spent so much time writing about the experience when the pictures do such a great job by themselves…
Many, many thanks to my wonderful mother for being there.
And for bringing her camera!!!
there for me. 🙂
Not as easy as I make it look. 😉

Love my homebirth. Loved everything about it. Except maybe the crazy post-partum mood swings. Wheeeeeee! (SO glad that’s over!)
And guess what! Now that it’s all thoroughly documented I can stop suffering and write that symphony.
Or maybe watch Singin’ in the Rain again.
Or at least move on to write the other fantastic and fascinating posts coming to a blog near you.

Yay for pictures! We should
coordinate our singing in the rain
watching…
Sing w/ me – Moses supposes….
I’ve always wanted to try a water
birth. Glad you got to try it for me.
The pictures and story are beautiful!
I especially love the bonding you had
with your daughter. Thanks for sharing
your special experience!
Just finished reading all six posts and all I have to say is wow! I am terrified of giving birth someday, especially knowing I am very likely to have complications. I’m glad you have had four great experiences!
Wow, amazing pictures! I love the ones of the kids holding the new little baby. Such a wonderful story!
You are amazing!
The pictures do complete the story.
thanks for this! its so great to hear positive succesful birth stories when you’ve got one coming up in um… what’s 40-14? that many weeks. mine should be a water birth too, though at a birthing center. and also, you have beautiful kids!
birth is miraculous. I love my baby.
Congratulations!!! This was SO special to read! What a beautiful birth experience! And he is so precious. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful story.
