Hi girls!

Tashybabe: *mwah* thank you so much babe! so great to have a record of those lost weeks

Freya: as recently graduated 'first-timer' homebirthers i can highly recommend it! once you have a HB there is NO other way. it's that good. no joke.

Arimeh: we hit the $2 shop for a cheap plastic sieve...

AFM: we are travelling well! my recovery this time is amazing. not having birth trauma really helps lol! i LOVE filling out the forms that ask 'where was baby born' and that on the 'blue book' it reads 'at home'

my reflection on the experience is that i LOVE it because it was normal. there was no drama, hurry or worry. labouring gently at home while reading books to your toddler and hanging out washing and pottering in the garden sooo beats labouring in a hospital birth suite. and being able to watch my DD1s face when my waters broke and her big grin is priceless. and having her there to cut the cord and kiss the baby while we were still in the pool is a memory i will hold forever.
