Home-birth

Part Six: Birth… Try this at home!

by Mrs. Smith on October 28, 2009

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.  :)

Love my homebirth.  Loved everything about it.  Except maybe the crazy post-partum mood swings.  Wheeeeeee!  (SO glad that’s over!)
