Baby Girl is here!

Our baby girl was born 11/11/11 weighing 8 lbs. 8 oz. and 21.5 inches long.

She’s now 10 days old and between the two kids, we’re pretty busy around here.

I’m not comfortable sharing the actual birth story on a public blog.  But I was able to have a  completely natural childbirth experience and do many things I had always wanted to.  I was lovingly cared for during my pregnancy and birth by midwives.  I labored in warm water, and gave birth in a full squat.  It was an amazing experience and I’m proud of the way my daughter came into the world.

 

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

    Awww…

    I just love her! And your other little one. And the rest of you! :)

  4. Janelle!!!! CONGRATULATIONS! Funny thing, I just sent her gift out today! And I was thinking, gee, I wish Janelle had her already so I could put her name on the package. What’s her name?! And oh my goodness, a completely natural birth! Amazing! Please share your story somewhere where I can read it. That is something you can be so proud of! I am so so happy for your sweet family. I’m sure Dylan and the pugs are loving a sweet baby around. She is beautiful. Congratulations, and I hope you like your gift.

    Congratulations, although a little late. I’ve just found your blog, and I’m loving your comments re knitting, baby wearing, modern cloth nappies (as we call them in Australia!) … all things I have practiced and which are close to my heart. But mostly I love your daughters birth date, I am also 11/11 (although a few more years ago)
