Baby is here

Our second son, Fish, was born in the birth pool in our living room at 7:40 pm on Sept. 3. It was a beautiful experience especially since Hippo (our first son) was born via a cesarean section that I consider to have been unnecessary in hindsight. I have no idea how people give birth in hospitals. Being in my own space while laboring was a gift. Getting up to get a drink of water from my own kitchen a few hours after the birth was a wonderful feeling. Baruch H-shem.
