Martha is here :) **Updated with tremendously long birth story in post 29!!**

[Italiamom]

Just wanted to pop on quickly to announce the birth of my daughter Martha yesterday afternoon! The short and sweet version was that water broke around 5:30AM. Early labor finally started around 11AM. Midwives got to the house at around 12:30, and active labor kicked in about 1:30. Martha was born at home in the birth tub at 3:30, in a very fast water birth!! Had some issues with hemorrhaging, but nothing that required leaving the house, I'm just feeling puny today. No tears though, which is GREAT, since she has a 14 1/2" inch head, and was born in 4 pushes!

I'll update later with the outrageously long and detailed version...

Yeah, so happy for you Michelle. Welcome Martha, you have the most awesome Mama ever.

So looking forward to the outrageously long version of the birth story and some pics. I need something to keep me going while I keep waiting for my turn.

Glad you are on the other side and can finally get some mobility back. Enjoy all those precious new born snuggles with your sweet bundle of joy.

Congrats! Augustus had a big head too, 14 3/4. After I pushed his head out I thought I had delivered his whole body.
