Awe…this makes me kinda misty eyed….eh em…..*cough, *sniff. So cool. So perfect. So awesome.

He IS perfect. Congratulations on your natural labor, no complications and a beautiful baby. Enjoy your time away but I can’t wait to see you back here.

So happy for you both – what a superb addition!

Ahhhhhh….Enjoy your precious time with Waits. I have three boys, 30, 19, and 15….Blessings to you all.

Oh my goodness, he is beautiful. Congratulations!

Guess I’m most certainly not the only one totally in awe right now! I’m very very happy for you guys, wonderful to hear that he is and to see that he looks so healthy and beautiful being 100% vegan! I love his name as well :) After Tom? I assume.

Happy, happy, happy!

Hope you already have the multifunctional baby wrap sling (or what they’re called), I’ve heard a lot about them and know that babies are most comfortable being attached to their mother/father using these wraps rather than sitting legs straight in a chair-like thing.

Ah. He’s such a little lentil =o)

Sayward you look gorgeous and glowy! He’s a little stunner…my ovaries are making themselves known now…I want one! :)

Congratulations, he’s absolutely gorgeous!

He is wonderful! I love the little arm wrap-around in that one photo. Maiya used to move around until her tiny fists were on Tom or I’s skin and I do believe it is one of the most motherly feelings ever.

BEAUTIFUL! Well done Say! I am very impressed you had him el naturale without the use of medication. Amazing! My bf said: “Why the hell would any woman want to do that in this day and age?!” I tried to explain… :o)

http://waits.rebhal.com/ has lots more baby pics ;)

Congratulations! You are going to love being a mom :)

@Kelly My short answer is something along the lines of “Because we’re strong and powerful, duuuuhhh”. (Of course, my longer answer gets into much much more LOL!) The birth of my second child is absolutely the most amazing, empowering experience I have ever had, bar none. The first was good, but I did get one shot for pain, and I went to the hospital way too early (which I knew, but had my reasons) and yeah, just, the second time I KNEW so much more having been through it before. (And that time, I got to the hospital and had a baby 40 minutes later!)

Beautiful….and beautiful birth story as well! Came over from the Mothering forums and love your blog! :)

Thank you everyone for all the beautiful comments! Waits is just amazing and I’m so in love! Looking forward to sharing more of him with all of you!

You’re little boy is lovely and I love the name you chose. It’s so unique and rather pretty. Congrats hunny and as usuall your stunning as well.

I just read your birth story on Offbeat Mama and it is beautiful. I was recently in the delivery room of one of my best friends and your story took me back to all the incredible emotions that I felt being a witness to such an amazing event.
