Deb,
Thats awesome! This was our first planned homebirth. Our first son was born in the car, the second one we made it to the hospital and the third was born at home in the bathtub unplanned. This time I am so glad we stayed at home. The midwife didn't make it until after he was born. Daddy delivered him. It was so nice to be at home and not in the hospital. I think it made for a quicker easier recovery.

I hope you go soon. I know the waiting is so hard. I hope after all your waiting everything goes quickly and easily with a happy healthy mom and baby.
You'll have to let us know, I have checked a couple of time to see if you had the baby yet. I would love to hear how the homebirth goes too. Good Luck.
 
Congratulations on a beautiful baby and a fabulous birth experience!
