Our little girl was born yesterday! April 26th…
Anna woke me up at 09:00, by 10:00 she was having contractions every 3 minutes at 60 seconds a pop so I called her mom (to watch the kids) and the midwife and starting setting up the birthing area in our room… I laid out the flooring got the pool ready just as my mother-in-law arrived (at 10:35 or so), she took the kids into their rooms, and at 10:39, just as the pool was full enough to get into, Anna got into it and the baby was born two minutes later… Initially, the baby somehow turned last minute and her heel was showing (somehow stuck). Â I pulled her heel back to expose the whole left foot and immediately the baby came out into my hands – IT’S A GIRL! Very cool how it happened! Our midwife must have been parking when the baby came out because she was in the room just a few minutes later… Anna and Baby (Alana) are doing very well. Alana was exactly 8 lbs and 20 inches long – the pic to the left was shot about an hour after the birth…Â |
