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.
Hooray for natural birthing! She is so adorable. Can't wait to meet her.
