He's here!!! He was born yesterday at 2:57pm. :o) We're both doing great!!
He was delivered in route to the birth center! In the front passenger seat of our minivan!!! We were on our way to to our midwife to continue laboring until I was ready to head to the hospital, where I had to be in order to be allowed to attempt a VBAC. Less than 3 hours earlier I was only 1-2 cm dilated! But he had other plans. Lol! It was an incredibly peaceful entrance, no one panicked, and he was so perfect! Greg couldn't even pull over, or stop!
I'm thrilled that I never had to go to the hospital at all! Any "risk" from vbac'ing was gone already and we got to stay at the birth center!
We were home 3 hours later & we're doing so well. I can't believe how perfectly it turned out after all. :o) He was 9 lbs 3 ounces. And I never pushed at all, my body took over and I was just along for the ride! What an experience!
So, I had a successful VBAC, my first unmedicated birth, delivered him myself, and got to be at the birth center!!!!! Words cannot describe our joy & gratitude about it all. God's plans are amazing. I am in awe of how He worked it all out! He granted me the desires of my heart in every single way. :o)

Resa,
I am getting concerned. I check your blog all the time to see if you have updated.
I hope you all are doing okay.
How are you feeling? Have you been able to get back to raw?
Would love to see pictures of you, Quinn and the rest of your little family.
I am hoping and praying the best for you all, Christine
What a sweet baby! Kudos on your VBAC! I had my first natural birth, one 1/2 years ago, and it was a huge blessing to me.
