it's a girl. piper pearl arrived in just under 3 hours, born at home, one of the most beautiful births i've been to. i'm so so proud of my daughter, she labored with so much grace and beauty i had tears all the way through. it was an amazing honor {tears again} to be there holding her, soothing, supporting. it was all more than any of us could hope for. we have a baby!!!!!!!! xxxxxx
So happy for you all Lori! :-)

ReplyDeleteaw, thank you so much!! my son was born the same too, and also without my mother. she would have worried too much over a home birth, so we didn't tell her until baby was earthside. :) xxx

ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Such joy. And I smiled at the beautiful photo of the weighing. When my littlest was being similarly weighed at home by the midwife, it drove me CRAZY that I didn't have a camera in my hands. So I'm happy you captured the moment for your daughter, and so exquisitely. Hugs to you all!
ReplyDeletethank you so much, oh my goodness it is so difficult (in the best sense of the word) to be doing it all!! i was support for my daughter and 12 year old granddaughter present at the birth, photographer, and useless teary eyed person. i love the home weighing and like you didn't get one of my son at his home birth. this photo is cropped, the original image shows the delight on my daughter and 2 midwives faces too. so priceless. thank you so much wsw. xxx

ReplyDeleteI have a friend since many years who is a midwife and who has delivered hundreds of babies - and she still thinks that she has the best job in the world, that each birth is unique and fantastic.
thank you irene!! i can imagine what a job it would be. she sounds the perfect person to be one, and is so right, every birth is a miracle. i almost went that route, wanting to be a midwife or a doula. i think i would have loved every bit of it too. xxx

Hey keep posting such good and meaningful articles.
ReplyDeleteDid you know there's a 12 word sentence you can speak to your crush... that will induce intense emotions of love and impulsive attraction to you buried within his heart?
ReplyDeleteThat's because deep inside these 12 words is a "secret signal" that triggers a man's impulse to love, please and look after you with his entire heart...
===> 12 Words Who Trigger A Man's Desire Instinct
This impulse is so hardwired into a man's brain that it will make him try better than ever before to build your relationship stronger.
As a matter of fact, triggering this mighty impulse is so essential to getting the best possible relationship with your man that once you send your man one of the "Secret Signals"...
...You will instantly find him open his mind and soul for you in a way he never expressed before and he'll perceive you as the only woman in the galaxy who has ever truly interested him.
