My baby boy has arrived!!!!! I am so happy he is here!

His name is Edward Michael. He was born June 15, 2007 at home, unassisted and in the water. I was awaken by some serious diarrhea at 4:30 am (sorry tmi...) I felt like the laxative scene from Dumb & Dumber!!!
I just thought I was having those type of cramps. Welp, at around 5:30 my water broke while I was on the toilet. Then I knew that I was going to have a baby. The ctx got really bad and I had the urge to push. I had my dh call the midwife and fill up the tub. Ten minutes later my boy made his appearance. His cord was wrapped around his neck and I was able to free him from it. My midwife arrived at the second afterwards. So at 5:55am, my liitle boy was born. Not to brag, but I pushed once and my boy came flying out!!! My wishes for an unassisted hb came true. So that would be approx. 20 seconds of pushing! No tears and he is a pretty good nurser.

His stats were 10 lbs, 1.5 oz..... 21 inches long. He was duw on the 8th and arrived at excactly 41 weeks. I would love to post pics but I have never figured out how to do it. Maybe I can put a link to my family's web-site....

Congratulations on your healthy boy!! My 10 pounder did NOT fly out, so I'm jealous of that part of your story...

I'll bet he has some excited big sisters!!

Congratulations!!!!!! Yeah you finally made it. I have been thinking of you. Wow 10 pounds, my daughter weighed that and I had to have a C-Section. Hope you are both doing well and I know how excited everyone must be.
