After 30 hrs of labor, Maya joined us at 12:12 pm Sunday, October 28th.

She is 7lb 4oz and a perfect beautiful baby girl.

Hers was a natural childbirth (using Hypnobabies) at a very supportive hospital with the help of a midwife.

Thank you OCT DDC for all your support and humor and love. You really helped this first time mama through a beautiful pregnancy and birth!

Thank you! She will have a tradish name. It has to be chosen for her (and we'll probably keep it secret. )

lol! Thank you! Although I'm more inclined to think I was naive and crazy!

It was great to be able to give birth standing up and have daddy catch her, but hold crap nobody told me how exhausting and, well, PAINFUL, it would be. Ummm..won't be doing that again.:

WOW! How neat!

I gotta say, though, I loved Hypnobabies for the pregnancy and for the first 3/4 of labor. But after 8 cm, I couldnt breathe down anesthesia if my life depended on it! Which it felt like it did! woooweeee! Drugs sounded SO GOOD, but daddy and midwife were so supportive and got me through it.:

We are so blessed and Maya is so loved. I am just over the moon with my little one. :

Congrats on your sweet baby! I'm so sorry her bracelet won't fit her I've tried a smaller one I made on mine and it's still not small enough :
Enjoy your babymoon and she is just so cute

This is interesting and wonder if it happens a lot. I had a hypnobabies birth that was 16 hours long and totally felt like braxton hicks the whole time until I hit about 9 centimeters and then it was like whamo! totally intense! I guess that is better than intensity the whole 16 hours! It was intense but still manageable I guess, he was born very gently with his water bag still completely intact around his body. We had to break it off.

I am planning another hypnobabies birth any day now and wouldn't mind if it goes as slow as long as it is as gentle and would like it to be throughout the whole birth this time.

Congratulations and your baby is a cutie!
