It’s A Boy!

April 12, 2011 By Frugal Babe

Our second son arrived on Friday, and we’ve been enjoying a blissful few days of getting to know him. His birth was dramatically easier and faster than our first son’s, and I’m feeling great. We had another homebirth, and this time the baby arrived 20 minutes after the midwife did – there was barely time for her to set up her supplies. Our almost-three-year-old is thrilled to be a big brother, and my husband and I are equally thrilled to be parents to such great little guys.

    CONGRATULATIONS!
    How very exciting. I would love to learn more about the whole home-birth experience if you would be willing to write about it. Hubby and I do not have children yet, but we hope to try in the next year.

    i want to say the same thing, so i will… congratulations. New life is a great thing. And the most important thing is (although you didn’t say it) is that it sounds like he is totally healthy. Plus the other most important thing, is that you are also totally healthy. So the best of both worlds.

    OK, now for more reality. Loss of sleep, Lots of mess. Lots of noise (“all boys like noise”). Lots of screaming crying destruction willfulness (‘no! no! no!’) crash bang boom. Well that’s life with boys.

    But in all it doesn’t really matter as they are family and all will right itself in the end. Just think how much fun it will be to teach boys how to make cookies and things like that.
