Presenting.. Miss Olivine Virginia!

[Abraisme]

Our newest addition arrived on August 11th at 10:58pm. She is a perfect 7lbs 8oz and 19.5" long. I had 24 hours of easy 1st stage labor, 2.5 hours of active labor and only 20 minutes from transition to birth. She was born easily and all on her own under water (no cervical exams or forced pushing). The birth video and some pictures are below.

Best wishes to everyone who have had their babies and the babies still yet to come!! :::

That makes me cry! It's such a great environment to birth in! I'm so jealous - all of mine have been born by c-section so far under glaringly horrible hospital lights! :*( Your baby is sooo lucky!
