We’re now in that window where the little one could be born any day. It’s a crazy thought that literally in a matter of hours/days we’ll be adding a member to our family.
Just as crazy is the fact that this one will be born at home. Yeah, I know, I used to think that only weird hippies had kids at home, but after we had Jude I got to thinking that everything we did at the hospital we could do at home. This way we can sleep in our own bed, watch the NCAA tourney eat our own food, etc. Jess is a champion and goes without pain meds or other interventions so doing the home birth thing should be awesome.
On a similar but separate note congratulations to my homey Nate and his wife Tash on the birth of their baby girl last week! I guess when your friends start having babies that’s another sign of adulthood.
holy cow - a home birth? way to go!

This is going to be such an awesome experience for Jude too - to be able to see his baby brother right after he’s born! The only thing I would advise is that he not hear his mommy in pain during labor. (Just a suggestion.)
I am so excited for you both. What an amazing life-changing experience it is to be a parent. I often tell others that my children are the ‘loves of my life’, and it’s true. ♥

Yay! Jude will for sure be somewhere else during the intense part of labor and delivery, and then we’ll be sure and get a video of his first reaction to baby brother! I can’t wait to see that!:)

Also the fact there are less bad germs in the home than the hospital. A good mid-wife will know what to do and what her limitations are. Good for you!
