I am thrilled to announce the arrival of Ocean Rae, who arrived at 1:17 am on Sunday, August 10th. She was born after 9 hours of incredibly painful but all natural labor and birthing, and I managed to stay at home until midnight, and spend just over an hour in the hospital before she was born. We were home in our own bed by Sunday afternoon. 
My birthing team was amazing, and kept me calm throughout my labor. Ocean was beautiful from the second she emerged (pictures on my blog, link below), and weighed in at 7 lbs, 7 ozs., and just under 21 inches long.
I'm not on the computer so much these days (haven't mastered typing with baby yet!), but just wanted to share the good news!
