Congratulations, she's beautiful! Did you plan to have her at home? Take care, I am praying for you all!
Thank you! Yes, it was a planned homebirth!
Many congratulations. A very beautiful baby girl. What a great family you are growing.
Thank you Jean!
Congratulations! Can't wait to hear your story!
Thank you! I'm looking forward to writing and sharing the birth story…soon! 🙂
Congratulations! She's beautiful!
Congratulations! The bow just adds to the perfect picture. 🙂
Thank you Molly! The boys went out to breakfast with their daddy the morning she was born and picked out this hairbow for her. It was a fun surprise for mama! 🙂
Oh wow, I was so expecting you to have another boy! Congratulations, she’s beautiful!
I was pretty sure baby was a boy too! She was a big surprise! 🙂
Congrats!! Great news. She is a cutie.
I'm so eager to hear your story! My baby girl is five months old already–my first birth, also at home. It was worth it, even if I had no pain medication. Being at home meant I didn't have any pressure to have a c-section during my long labor.
We did foster care for lots of little boys, so finally having a girl has been so much fun. You're going to love it, Rachel! I am laughing, though, as I think of your minimalist self dealing with the many, many girlie clothes I predict you'll soon be getting as gifts from all your interested family and friends. : )
Homebirth is wonderful – so calm and different from a hospital environment! And, I'm learning that it's going to be much harder to be minimal with a girl. We've already been blessed with hand-me-downs and gifts and it's all so adorable!
Congratulations!!! She is beautiful!! I just stopped by thinking that it might be quiet, because you were a little "busy".
Thank you Julie.
Congratulations on your sweet girl, she is a doll1
She is lovely! Congratulations! I adore her name!
Thank you Jill!
Congratulations Rachel! What a wonderful addition to your family!
Thank you! We're loving having a girl in our family!
Congratulations! So exciting!!! It's funny – after you posted your son's birth stories, I was going to comment and ask you if you had ever thought about doing a home birth. That answers my question!
Thank you Kate! And, Weston's fast labor and crazy delivery is why we decided on homebirth this time!
Congrats! She's beautiful!
Thank you Stacy!
Many blessings to your precious little family! Cecilia is beautiful! I am so happy for you! Mary
Thank you!
Rachel,
I'm so so so excited to hear the birth story but be patient with yourself – myself and all eager ready for the story know you are busy as you adapt to three!
I am definitely taking things much slower this time – my midwife ordered no housework for 1 week and I accepted help.I have journaled the story but now need to condense it a bit to share here. And, need to find the time! 🙂
What a beautiful little girl! Congratulations!! I bet Paxton and Weston are thrilled to have a baby sister 🙂
Thank you! And, yes, they are loving their sister!
