So my little guy was born at home, quite unexpectedly, on my living room floor. I still can't believe I had an unplanned homebirth VBAC!!!! I'll be writing my full birth story soon, before I start forgetting any of the craziness 
Robert (Robbie) Emmanuel weighed in at 6 lbs. 14 oz. and 20 inches long and he is in perfect health. I have a small tear that required stitches, but I feel pretty good. Some baby blues are kicking in though, so I'm a bit weepy. Hope this goes away soon! Pictures to come.

That is AWESOME!! Congratulations! Welcome, Robbie!
I've been dealing with some PPD (mostly weeks 3-7 for me--easing up now); I found that, for me, eating lots of protein and avoiding sweets helps even out my moods.
