Congratulations, Ladysmith!

Aug. 15th, 2006 at 7:52 AM

This morning at 4:00 am,

ladysmith had a beautiful baby boy. 6 pounds 14 oz, 20.5 inches, and gorgeous. Family is well. Everyone's tired & crashing. Long labor & little sleep, so that's all for now. Don't worry, doula friends & birth groupies - I will write up a birth story, but I'll let her share her own first. On the plus side...she did have the baby and I was there!

He shares a birthday with Ivy. Unfortunately, I probably won't make it back in time to celebrate Ivy's first birthday with her. :( I need sleep. I may not be back for several more days, til I sleep up & drive home.

Happy Birthday, Ivy Grace & Jacob Anthony!!!!!!

Thank you!

I wasn't the one who did all that work, though. ;) I felt blessed just to be a part of it.

Me too! I was so afraid I wouldn't be able to be there for the birth.

Thank you so much!

Thank you! We're having another birthday celebration for Ivy this week. Hopefully double the presents, cake, & attention will make up for my missing it. :P

Oh yay, you must be home! Glad to know everything is all right. I was hoping to get your permission to post a couple of the pics with my write-up. After I look them over & decide which ones, I can email them to you to see if it's ok.

Oh, you definitely need to! But what on earth are you doing at the computer? You should sleep whenever the baby sleeps...

:P
