Welcome to the World, Baby Cheese!


Baby Cheese entered the world on 9/18/08 at 2:07am. She is a Tiny Cheese, weighing in at 6lbs 1oz. Her disposition is as sweet as can be, I believe that she looks like her Beaming Proud Papa (and I'm not alone!)

My birth experience was a very spiritual and beautiful reflection of who I am. Many things about it were not what I expected, but I never gave up and had a natural, unmedicated birth. I do have some healing and recovery time ahead of me, but I couldn't be any more pleased with the outcome.

My midwife and RN were nothing short of incredible and helped provide strength to my core. I feel like I can accomplish anything after going through labor. I never was afraid, even prior to the birth. I knew my body body wouldn't give me something I couldn't handle. I even felt the rush of oxytocin - incredible stuff!

More to come later as it hurts to sit right now!
