[Curlita]

Yay!! He finally makes his appearance! So glad you home water birth went off without a hitch!

[wwisdomskr]

Thanks, Mamas!

Yes, it was very intense...but, unlike last time, I was still really lucid and with it in between contractions. So, I didn't feel as out of control. Pushing so soon really took me by surprise, though! THAT was intense!

It was a wonderful birth and I will post the story as soon as I have time to write it.

About his name:
(Olorun is pronounced {oh-very soft "r"-LO-roon} and is the Yoruba god of peace, harmony, wisdom and justice)
(Gustavo is pronounced {goos-TAV-oh} and is the first name of dh's best friend and his best friend's father)
