There's nothing like watching an all natural (read: NO drugs) home birth as an all-natural birth control method! I think I will likely opt for drugs when in the long term future my time comes to birth a baby.
Wow, what an absolutely INCREDIBLE experience to see someone being born. It's difficult to describe, and probably not something that others want to read, so I'll spare the details, but it was beautiful and I think I cried during the experience. The 4 year old was perfect, wasn't scared. He watched his sister being born, then got to cut her umbilical cord. A pretty neat story that he can tell the kids at preschool today, I'd say.
The baby doesn't have a name yet. Right now she's "baby sister." The 4 year old tried to make helpful suggestions like "Telephone," "Banana," "French Toast," and "Orange Juice." Can you tell what was on HIS mind after the 5:30am birth?
I'd say that 8-8-08 is a birthday that I won't forget! Congratulations to parents Ilil and Bryce and brother Lyell.
