~Not an April Fools'!!!~ Bella Babe (Shelley) had her baby, Bodhi, around 9 this morning. She was just getting into the into the bathtub with him when I got the call.
I just got home from visiting them. Shelley is feeling and looking fantastic. She asked me to give you all the specs.
Her water broke around 8 am. She hopped in the shower to rinse off, and within a few minutes was in the full throes of labour. Jason bravely played midwife and delivered his first son into the world about 10 minutes before the real midwife arrived!!! Bodhi Michael weighed in at 8lb, 1oz and 20.5". He's the spitting image of his daddy down to the red hair, but with his mama's nose

We are all doing great, thanks!!! It was a fast and amazing birth, Jason was a great "midwife". It was about 8:05 when my water broke, and he was born at 8:35. I will be writing up a birth story soon, but this was the first time I got online since the birth on Sunday and I have a little catching up to do!
