I have been waiting for this post for what seems like forever!

I'm so, so glad everything went well. You give me hope that I will be able to do a natural birth in the future. Were they really not as bad as the pitocin contractions?

I know I say this nearly every time I see him, but I LOVE his hair! And I think it's hilarious that Caelan isn't into him.

Beautiful story. It made me tear up! We love you guys!

Wow - that is awesome. I love the nice, almost simple nature of it all - so much more natural than a hospital, etc. I'm thrilled you got to have this experience.

Congrats, again - he's beautiful!
