Congratulations!!  That is one cute baby.

I am glad everything worked out in the end.  That must have been a nightmare with the hospital.

 

I'm glad everything worked out.  You all look fantastic given your harrowing circumstances!

oh, your wife is my hero!

Jeff, congratulations. And happy belated Father's Day.

 

Her chubbiness makes her look so perfect!  You must be just so excited!  I am so thankful that God lead you to a great and experienced midwife who could help Susan to do her best job in labor!  Can't wait for more pictures fo her (uh, Carys, not Susan - we know what she looks like!).  Good job , Susan & coach Jeff!

Jeff, Little Carys is cute.  Thank you Susan!  I'm so glad you all were able to have a natural birth.  The way it was intended.  You're courageous and need to be commended for that.  We prayed the birth would go well and that all mountains and valleys would be smoothed along the way.  Awesome to see that answered.  Can't wait to see you all.  Your bud, Steve

 We're all "flying high" with your NEWS!!!

Congratulations and thanks for sharing the photos and the experience. All "good energy" and 10,000 blessings on Mom ,Dad and Baby!

What a beautiful baby - congratulations to you and your wife!

Congratulations papa.... I was extreamly excited to see your announcement. I am sorry to here about the drama at the hospital but I am happy to hear mom and baby are doing well. By the way.... know a good photographer if you need some good family pictures :)

 

 

Jeff: Thanks for showing us pictures and letting us all know!  Congratulations to the family!  WooHoo! And that's the group picture....babies~!!!!!!!

 

Congratulations to you and your family! What a beautiful baby and what an ideal place to be born, at home. Excellent job Mama! Hope you're all getting plenty of rest.

 Sorry to hear about your experience with the hospital. I gave birth to my daughter naturally & drug-free 2.5 yrs ago and I also had a drug-free natural birth with my twins 5 months ago. But my husband and I really had a time finding a care provider who felt comfortable and had experience delivering twins naturally. Turns out the twins & I did most of the work and the dr. almost missed twin A, my Harry's, birth and didn't have to do anything for Lucy's birth except stand by. I too am a true believer of natural childbirth. 

Thank you also for your very informative blog. We'll be moving into the area and we've already learned a lot from your blog.  

All good wishes,

Laura

 

 

Thanks to all for your comments and well-wishes!  We appreciate them.  Mom & baby are doing well this afternoon - sleeping alot. 

Laura, thanks for your story about the twins - I can imagine what you went through with the med. establishment.  After last night I'm re-evaluating the concept of "high risk" as they define it.  If we can do a natural then anyone can...

Moving to the Lancaster area?  I happen to know a good Realtor who's got one more mouth to feed!

 

 

Jeff: Came back to see if you added more...yes! One more chubby cheeked little muchkin pic. (did you sleep yet?)

If I could go back 25/26 years and there were natural births I would have asked.

 

Jeff, Congratulations!  She is so cute!  Your wife is a trooper.  I am glad to hear her and the baby are getting some sleep.  I haven't slept since my last one was born.  :)  Congrats and keep us posted!

Jeff, what a cute baby girl!  Congratulations!

Sorry you had such a difficult time at the hospital -- I'm so happy things worked out for you to be able to give birth the way you wanted.

What a BEAUTIFUL baby girl!  CONGRATULATIONS!  Take care of her, give her a good life, you have surely been blessed!

Jeff - you are my hero. Thanks for sticking by your wife and fighting for her!! Susan - wasn't it great being at home? I'm so happy for you! And God Bless Diane! Thank you Diane. I know you lay it on the line for all of us, mothers and babies, who simply want to experience birth the way it was meant to be.

Jeff and Susan,

 

We were just praying for you last night and we praise the Lord of your cute precisous bundle!!!  God is faithful all the time!!!!   So glad you had the positive experience of a home birth!!!   Praying for you all as you are adjusting to a new family member.  

 Natural childbirth is a wonderful gift to give to your baby, and you did it! You should be very proud of yourselves! Its just amazing how God works, just when everything seemed hopeless it ended up turning out better then you could have imagined! I'm so happy for you guys!!!

 

Congratulations, Susan and Jeff!  It is a wonderful blessing that everything turned out okay.  I am sure that your other kids are just as excited to have a new baby sister as you are.  Just think, she can always smile broadly when people ask her "where was she born?" and answer, with confidence and pride, "At Home".

Congrats Jeff!!!  This is wonderful and I think it is awesome that it happened at home. 

Jeff and Susan,

Carol and I have been thinking of you since we had talked at Calvary about your expected birth in June.  At the beginning of this week we began wondering if it had already occurred and were surprised to hear of your wonderful news today.  Praise God for Carys and a healthy delivery!  It is a joy to hear that you had a natural birth and that you were able to be at home with the support of a midwife.

May God continue to bless you every day as your daughter grows and develops.  May you find many smiles and ongoing happiness as she explores what God has in store for her life.

Congratulations! 

Carol and Mark

Another Blessing for your family, congratulations!!! I'm sure the boys are trilled to have a baby sister to hold and protect. Mom and Dad are trilled too I'm sure, a little girl to complete the family. Praise God  that all worked out in your challenge with the hospital.

Love and prayers, Kim for all

Susan and Jeff,

 I am delight to hear the wonderful news.  What an awesome edition to your family.  She is adorable and I bet the big brothers are glowing.  Praise the Lord that all worked out.  Did someone mention high risk? I know a very qualified risk manager and legal nurse consultant.  Hey, everyone else was advertising!  :-)

Congrats!

Congratualations on that beautiful baby!!

Thanks to all for the awesome comments! 

ahhhhhhhhhhhh... I love babies and yours is sure beautiful.  Many congratulations!

  

Congratulations to you and your wife!  She doesn't look like someone who has just delivered a baby...smiling and looking all refereshed...I have never been pregnant myself, however, I have been in the delivery room with my sister 4 times...she never looks this good right afterwards :-)

Welcome to the world little Carys...God Bless you all,

Congrats!!! Great looking family. Looks like we have a future blogger in the making.

Congratulations! Enjoy these early days, they are amazing and she is beautiful. We had some trouble with the hospital when my first was born, but looking back it all fades away and your left with memories of the "milky smiles" as I call them and the wonder of their beauty.

Don't know how I missed this but CONGRATULATIONS!!!  I always say the problem with "the best years of your life" is that you don't know they were the best years until they're over. So, I'm here to tell you, you are now entering THE BEST YEARS OF YOUR LIFE.  Take the time to enjoy every second.

Jeff and Susan,

Congratulations! We are so happy for you guys!  and we are so glad to know that everything worked out just great!

Congratulations, Jeff !

Many blessings to you and your family! Baby Girls always melt their daddy's heart.....and daddy's always remain in their Baby Girls heart.

 

Thanks to everyone who left a comment here - I will be passing these on to my wife...mom & baby are doing well -  at 1 week already!

She is so beautiful Jeff!  Congratulations on your latest addition.  What a story too!  Good for you two for sticking with your plan.  Tell Susan I said Way to Go Mom!

Best wishes for the whole family!   Enjoy your new baby girl!

 

Thanks Nessie! 

Dear Jeff and Susan,

I missed the whole thing while I was in NY!! How exciting to have a home birth. You are now Bradley experts and Carys is so beautiful!! Praise God for a great outcome after a tough day. I'll be calling soon to get all the details.

Love,

Beth

My Neice is pretty good looking! and I'm not just saying that because she looks like me!

Love,

Aunt Jennifer

We are delighted for the two of you!  Sharon went 100% natural with both Heather (14) and Brianna (10), so we respect and admire what you went through.  Congratulations!  We'd love to meet Carys Victoria sometime soon.  Blessings to you!
