He is adorable and I love the way you told your birth story (just glad I didn't read it while I was pg lol). <br /><br />Oh and Scottish Twins - every birth is different, really no need to be terrified. And EMM has it right on w/ the cord/midwife thing.

And as for the cord, I think it was handled better by the midwife at home than it would have been by the hospital.<br /><br />Also, thank you everyone for the kind praise!M.

I want to squish him!<br /><br />I'm going to be honest - I'm kind of terrified now.

Yet, so, so beautiful! Congratulations! :) And, yay for your daughter! My ten year old daughter is the best birth coach! :)<br /><br />I have 5 homebirths under my belt and am looking forward to the sixth in June. It will be my third water birth, if I can do it. :)<br /><br />With my fifth baby, I had a bag of forewaters that I wanted to break, and I told my sister "Go get me a crochet hook!" Off she ran, and then I realized I could do it with my fingernail! :) Something to laugh about later.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
