Current mood: ecstatic

He's here! Joseph James IV was born on Nov 25th (2 days late) via Home Sweet Homebirth straight into daddy's hands!! ( yes, it was a "planned" homebirth...waterbirth actually) it was so amazing! he weighed 6 lbs, 11 oz and we haven't done his length yet, but i am guessing 19 inches. He came at 12:28 pm England time after 7 hours of early labor, 3 hours active labor, and 10 mins pushing, apgars of 10's all the way around. God is so good and so worthy to be praised! will have a complete birthstory up soon ;)

us just minutes after the birth: (yes dh was crying... i have a funny expression becuase i was still getting over the shock that he was here and we were "done"!)

Joey, just 3-4 hours after the birth:

he is a very good baby. very alert and curious of his new surroundings. He loves to cuddle and nurse and has only cried during diaper changes (but really, who can blame him? lol. i would too!)
