Sorry it took so long to post this wonderful news, but we've been busy! On May 9th we had a wonderful home birth. Not only was it a home birth, but a water birth! Oceanbaby was in labor beginning the night of May 7, and woke me up early on the morning of the 8th. I filled the Aqua Doula, and Mimi took Brandon for the day. Around 9:00 pm, Oceanbaby's water broke, and the contractions became more intense. Oceanbaby's Doula came, and within the next hour the Midwife arrived. At 1:04 am on May 9th, our Little Mermaid came into the world. I got to cut the cord, and told her that this was the last time I was going to cut her loose. It was truly amazing. So much better than the hospital situation we had with our last child. 
I took a week off work, then worked for a week, and now I'm off again for two weeks to bond with my baby, and to help out Oceanbaby.
