Birth Wisdom

 

Our son Jasper was born at home yesterday afternoon in a beautiful waterbirth.  He weighed 9 lbs 14 oz and is really healthy.  I feel great but am pretty tired.  The birth went well, about 2 hours of hard labor after about 6 hours of light contractions every 7-10 minutes.  Labor really kicked in as soon as my friends came over to pick up my daughters!  I will send photos soon – send my best to all of my Sunday yoga mates.
Love,
Sarah

 

Jasper was a big boy! I was very surprised that he hadn’t lost any weight on my 3 day check up with the midwives.  Now my milk is in and he’s continuing to grow.  He is such a joy and the bliss of these first days is magical.
