9 Days Late...Journey Josephine Arrives

Journey arrived at 3:41am after only 1 hr 45 min of contractions. She was born at home with a great midwife named Cathy O Bryant and 2 amazing assistants.

Louis caught the baby when she came out and he cut the cord. I think he may take up midwifery in his free time, as he is getting quite good at birthing babies. :)

They weighed her in this little sling. It reminds me of a luggage scale, but cuter. She weighed 8lbs 5 oz and was 22 1/4 in long.

She is so beautiful. She reminds me of Kiah. I can't wait to hold her and kiss that beautiful little face.

Love that you had a home birth! I've been a midwife assistant and a doula for a few years now and love it! Congratulations! And what a cute name!
