Little Baby Girl

Our beautiful baby girl is finally here! She came quickly last night at 9:28, after our arrival at 9:00! She is a petite little gal, weighing just shy of seven pounds.

I had a doula with me and this is something I can not recommend enough! She was fantastic and made the delivery experience so much nicer. I delivered her in the squatting position, which was great for me, but the doc wasn't to happy about it. And our poor little girl literally fell out onto the bed. Luckily she was fine and it didn't seem to phase her in the least.

Her brothers and sister are glad she is here, but still not quite sure what to make of her. I think the hospital experience really throws them off. One more reason to homebirth!

I will let you know when she has a name. We're debating still!

Sarah! Congrats! She is beautiful. Good for you with your delivery. Who cares if the doctor wasn't thrilled, if you are happy with your delivery, then all is good!

Who was your doula, if you don't mind me asking.

Beth --

Her name is Rachel Barnard. She is actually still "in training" as she hasn't attended enough births to be "official". But it didn't seem to matter -- she was great!
