After four boys...my homebirthed girl!

[Crispie]

My fourth boy was my first homebirth-and had a triple wrapped nuchal cord that gave him apgars of 2 and 3. We transferred to hospital immediately after birth and spent 21 days in the NICU. All turned out well but left a gaping hole in my heart. A longing for "that" birth...May 27th 2010 my dream was finally realized...I come to share with you.

Those that have lost that dream-on any level-please hold hope. It can be...

Lilah Rose-home waterbirth-round two!

Forgive me for the link, no way could MDC hold my long windedness and pic heavy posts! I hope it brings some hope and inspiration
