Congratulations. :)

Eric - CONGRATULATIONS!

God's blessings upon you and yours during this joyful time, and always. Hope yours don't grow up as fast as mine have! Cherish every moment until they get their drivers' licenses - after that you might not see them so much.

Thanks everyone!

Her name is Isobel Renae. She is number 5 in the clan. The oldest is 13, then 10, 5, 2, and one week tomorrow. She is the third of our kids to be delivered at home, with the help of a mid wife of course. I caught her, emptied her mouth, put her to mama's chest, cut the cord, the whole shebang. It's the only way to do it IMO.

Jeez' i've got four, and i thought i was an enigma!I caught my daughter, she was the third, couldn't cut the cord though...didn't have the guts. :D

Wow that's wonderful, and my hat's off to you and your wife for having the guts to have them at home. I'm in the grandmother class now, and it sure is more fun than parenting, although parenting has its own rewards. Enjoy each moment, because it's over before you're ready.

[Eric Philson]

Imo, it takes real guts to have em in a hospital. We, or rather, she does it the easy way.
