How crazy is it that my story is eerily similar ?!? My little pumpkin came unplanned and unassisted at home on 10/14 at 5:51 pm! At 5:00 I was hanging out at my Mil's house... I had about 45 active labor and by the time my water broke my...

After 24 hrs mild "pre-labor" and a CRAZY 45 mins of active labor Arelei Morgan (air-uh-lye) was born unplanned and unassisted at home on Sunday 10/14/12 at 5:51pm. 7lbs 5oz, 201/2 inches. My crazy story to follow in the next few days!

We don't vaccinate.  Nor are we germ-a-phobic.  The one thing to keep in mind regarding the DTaP vaccine is that the baby does not have immunity until the 3rd shot at 6 months! So if you are vaccinating please don't think...
