love love love! going back to read it again :-) I'm so happy for you, and thrilled that all is well and that you had such a wonderful home birth!

[maine_girl]

thank you. I am thrilled too, and still kind of on a high from it :)

I don't even have words. I'm moved to weeping. I didn't think I'd be able to read this, but it was amazing.

I have so much love for you and your sweet children. Bless them, bless you.

Thank you. I konw it must be hard to read in a strange way, and I thank you for reading anyway. I am sure it doesn't help, but I want you to know that I was thinking of you during and after this birth. And I have so much love for you and sweet Sofia.

Here via naturalbirth...beautiful boy and I adore the name!

[maine_girl]

Thank you! It was difficult for us to find a boy name we liked, but Emmett grew on us and now I can't imagine having used any other name!

Beautiful, Melissa! I'm sorry you had the bleeding issues, but I'm glad you're doing okay now.

I find it interesting that both you and Holly (my other LJ friend that was due about the same time) both had boys after 2 girls, both boys had tongue tie, and they were both over 9 pounds (and neither of you are "big" people). And they were born about 24 hours apart... and at home. So cool =)

And my gosh - he's adorable! What do his sisters think?

[maine_girl]

Wow! That is very cool. It reminds me of two friends of mine who had a baby the same nighyt, one in the capital of Canada and the other in the capital of the US, both babies were first babies, both girls, both posterior, one named Freyja and the other Priya!
The girls love him, especially Agnes. I think she might smother him...
