I Am Grateful For...Home Birth

9 :: Home Birth
One year ago, a second little chick joined our nest. Baby Sage was born at home on November 10, 2007. I am so very grateful for my home birth experience, words can not express...

Laboring in the birth pool. Big sister Selby and midwife Harmony cheer me on.
Sage was born in the water, and caught by Daddy. In my arms at last!
Weighing in at a healthy 9-1/2 pounds!
Getting checked out on the family bed.
The new family of four.
Sage snuggles into her new nest.

I just saw this on a friend's blog (I only read 3 out of so many possibilities and yours is my most treasured - I consider it such a treat!!!!). Thought you would appreciate this :

If you do not climb you will not fall. But sometimes when you fall, you fly.

love all four of you!!
