I added the birth story to the OP but here's the link here, too: http://www.mothering.com/discussions...8#post12109278

Yes, we are both doing okay. I decided early on in the process to reserve judgement on the birth experience until after he was here. I didn't shed a tear over my lost homebirth, but tried to focus on doing what we needed to do at the time. I can't say "I wouldn't have it any other way" but I can say that given the circumstances, I got the best birth I could possibly have gotten and had the best support team for the task at hand, which is all any of us should really expect from our births (although I firmly believe that we have the RIGHT to expect that for every birth for every woman in the US--or worldwide, for that matter-- it is not often the case that women get that, ya know?).

I had a feeling last night before I went to bed that you had had your baby, Charlotte. He's scrumptious! I love love love his baby lips and cheeks. DD actually cooed when she saw his picture.

Congratulations and enjoy the babymoon!

You know, I was also wondering if you had already had your baby, even though you & I were due around the same time (scarily, my blood pressure has also shot up and I'm trying to get it back down). I don't know why, I just had a feeling.

I'm glad it went as well as it could have under the circumstances! He's beautiful!
