Well- she wasn't naked till I got out of the tub. And now- everytime I take my shirt off to nurse, she gets naked and all up in it with us too.

I don't tandem nurse {did with her and boy before...too much for me!} But she might as well be offering her breast.
His cord is looking fabulous, and looking like it will drop off tonight or tomarrow morning-ish.
I have to admit - I have kept the cover of the cord safety/diaper pinned to the front of the cloth diaper he has on, so it doesn't get pulled too hard or, etc. Well-- 2 times this am, {once while still pinned to the dipe, once NOT pinned } while getting ready to go to the chiro- I was holding him, and the placenta took a suicide dive off of him towards the floor and gave a good yank on it.

. He cried for a minute or two, but was ok, and after that - it actually looked as if it may had done some good to help the healing of it. ? So- I know its oks- it was supposed to happen.
So- as I delivered him, I felt like there were about 20 people behind me in the room. what? my dh in the tub with me, my 3 kids, whos energy i was not feeling present, and my mom and best friend. I kept racking my brain...who was here? Did someone come and leave? WHO was here? huh...
And then I remembered. After I had him and went potty, {about an hour}, I saw my grandfather. And my great grandmother. My whole family {that has passed on} was here, watching over our Sebastian and me. our angels were watching, our friends from years past. What a sublime complete feeling. They were all here watching over us. Do you see how utterly bright it was in the room in the pictures? All the blinds were half drawn or shut...

LOVE is beautiful.
