Introducing . . .


Josiah Charles!!

Baby Josiah arrived last night at 8:40 pm, after another quick and intense labor that was very much like Julia's. He weighed 7 lbs. 4 oz. and was 21" long. More pictures and birth story to come in a day or so . . . right now I'm not really supposed to be out of bed. :) But I just wanted to let you all know that our little one is here and that we are all doing well. Thanks for your prayers!!

Congratulations!!!! He is such a cutie pie:). I am so glad that you had the birth experience that you desired with your midwife.

What a big boy for you! He's your biggest yet. I have been praying for you and will continue to do so.

I'm so happy for you and your family:). Thanks for sharing the great news with all of us!

Congrats Carrie...he's REALLY beautiful! Our little guy (Liam Joseph, 8 lbs, 10 oz, 21 in) arrived on Tuesday, but I haven't been nearly as faithful about blog updates as you have:o) We did a homebirth with a midwife too, so I can't wait to read your story! I love hearing other homebirth stories!

In my excitement, I forgot to mention that I love the name that you guys chose!

My cousin's baby boy is due in 2 weeks and they have chosen the name Josiah also.

I hope that you are resting, recovering and getting to know your newest baby:).
