Today is “Ginny’s” 2 week birthday…Rachelle was just starting labor about this time 2 weeks ago, and Ginny was born at 9:07pm EST here at home.
We’ve named her Ianthe Virginia, and for those of you interested, you can view a slideshow of her with family and friends here.
At 12 pounds, she surprised us all (Rachelle had about 10-15 minutes of intermittent “pushing”), and we are again amazed at the wonder, mystery, and miracle of birth, and forever grateful to all our mentors and friends at Homefirst Health Services and the wonderful gift of natural pregancy and birth at home that they passed on to us.
Enjoy!
