I love the first day when you introduce baby to the house and walk from room to room realizing the first impression your baby has of the world is the home you and your partner have created. It's so special.
I never can quite explain the magic of this. This was actually the most powerful part for me that I took from my sister's birth and what drove my desire to birth at home. It was like she was just *there*. Without any fuss or fanfare she had arrived in our home and our lives and somehow the transition between pregnancy to labour to birth all happening in the one long night in our home while I had intermittent naps in my own bed was just one of the most magical things I've ever experienced. It felt so right and like she had always been with us.
