Welcome Kalea!




As many of you have probably correctly guessed, my lack of posting lately is due to the demands of parenthood. Today is actually my first interaction with the internet.

On Jan 3 we welcomed Kalea into our home. She weighed 7 lbs 12 oz. She was a lovely pink color and surprisingly very clean. Some of the movies we watched showed strange blue coloured babies so I was prepared, but needn't have been. She even began breathing on her own-none of those syringe things. We waited to cut the cord until the placenta completely stopped pulsing. What an amazing thing. The placenta even contains a tree of life. I won't post the picture though. It was a wonderful, completely natural homebirth that only took eight hours. The midwives were quite pleased that they didn't even have to miss a night away from their families.

After transition, Moh ended up labouring in the birthing tub, but we got out for the actual delivery. What a magical experience.

Currently Moh is recovering well. Breastfeeding is going smoothly and we look forward to beautiful times ahead.



Look forward to hearing from and visiting all of my online friends soon.
