Sigurdur Hubert was born 2/14

[motherbirth]

I was in prodromal labor for 3 days and then have been spending pretty much all of my waking time nursing due to latch issues while we wait for his tongue-tie operation, so I haven't had time to check in, but I figured I would announce my son's birth (vaginal homebirth on his due date). Hopefully I will have time to catch up on reading everyone's posts from the last few weeks and post a birth story later.

Wow, I have had no computer time lately, so I am finally catching up!

It is like "sig" as in signature + "er" + "ther" like in "mother".

It's a traditional Icelandic name, it's from a saga, info here for the curious.
