Her, mama, daddy, and big sister Zoelle are doing great. We will update more as time goes on.

ReplyDeleteWe have two girls too: ages 2.5yr and 4m. Girls are so much fun!
I also gave birth in the tub with my second: http://metropolitanmama.net/2009/03/birth-story/.
Did you have her at home, at the hospital, or at a birth center? I'd love to hear more of your story. :)

Hi Stephanie-
ReplyDeleteI had her at a hospital. I would love to give birth at a birth center, but I don't think there are any near me. My husband is not comfortable giving birth at home, so we did the hospital birth. Long story short, but it is a birth that I dreamed of long before my first daughter was born. However, it was cut short in her birth as she had 3 holes in her heart and I could not get my natural water birth. I'm going to go check out your story here soon! Thanks! :)
