| | Well, it's been far too long since we've updated this weblog...
A
few things have changed. First, we both are using Facebook, so we've
been keeping in touch with people that way instead of through Xanga.
Plus, most of our friends seem to have stopped blogging as well.
Another
change is that we have a new baby in the family! One September 2nd at
11:00 pm, Anna Sophia was born in a beautiful home birth attended by a
wonderful team from the offices of Procrear, a medical group that
specializes in home births, often done in water. It's pretty amazing,
actually. They bring all the equipment necessary for any kind of
emergency. They bring an inflatable pool, with a water heater, which
they fill for the moment when the baby is born. (In Laura's case,
things progressed so quickly that there wasn't time to get her into the
water. But she got in afterward with the baby and it was very
relaxing.) There's the doctor, a midwife, and a nurse, all attending
the laboring mom, and there's even an ambulance parked in front of your
home the whole time in case there's the need to go to a hospital.
Anyway,
it was a very smooth process for us, thankfully. Laura did an amazing
job. Just three hours after her labor began, she was giving birth! Anna
Sophia weighed 6 lbs. 12 oz., and measured 19 3/4 inches long. Everyone
is doing well. It's fun to see the similarities and differences between
her and Abigail... She's smaller than Abby was, definitely got more
hair, just as good a nurser as Abby was, but quite a bit more relaxed
(not that Abby was a super fussy baby, either).
I guess that's it for now. Hopefully we'll visit this blog a little more often now. :) It's nice to be back.
