Baby Boden arrives 6/30 5:25 a.m.

8 lbs 12 oz
22 inches long

He was almost a water baby, but we had to move to the bed at the last minute so he could change positions. I am not sure, but I think the cord was still attached in this picture.

Daddy's turn to hold him.
Wesley and Daddy enjoy a chocolate treat together.

Wesley couldn't wait to hold Boden's hand and cuddle in bed with him.

He slept most of the day (and was awake most of the night).


Four hours after the birth, we were all ready to go home,
we waited for the newborn exam.v


I dearly look forward to sharing this birth story.

We are all home now. Boden is sleeping while Wesley and Daddy play with Wesley's "big brother" gift.

Interesting noise ... I do believe it's time for me to change a diaper ;)

I'll update soon

Angela!! I can't wait to share more. We almost had a water birth, but his position was awkward and interfering with the pushing so I waddled from the tub to the bed with a head 1/4 out so he could turn and shwoop ... out he came :)

I've been checking your blog daily hoping to see the news b/c I knew it was getting close.

So how big is Mr. Boden? We need more stats, please. LOL And a picture! ASAP! (haha--as if you have nothing better to do....)

And how are YOU feeling today? I can't believe you are home so soon but I guess that's all part of the advantage of a midwife and birthing center?

Wow--he's a big boy! LOVE the pictures...especially the one of him and Wes in the crib. Priceless!

I wish I could meet him in person and hold him for a little while. Maybe someday.... ;)

Good job, mommy! He's beautiful. :)
