My St. Nicholas Day Gift


Leopold Michael
Natus 12.6.08 at 11:14pm
10 lbs. 10 oz.
22 3/4 inches long

Little Leopold was born at home after only 2 hours of labor and 20 minutes of pushing, with no injuries to mother or child. (Well, minus a little shoulder dystocia.) God has great timing, has been so merciful, and His Providence is unsurpassable.

Deo Gratia!!

(for name explanations: click Leopold and click Michael)

awesome job, mommy! elizabeth's labor was 6 hours at home with Corwin, and so we are hoping for two hours next time. my birthday was/is the 7th, so cool - a buddy. we as a family (and trying to continue it) always celebrated st. nicholas day with putting our shoes out for some treats. that will be a great tradition for you and your family. elizabeth's blog is: agardenofvervain.blogspot.com you'll have to check each other's wisdom as homebirthing/attachment parenting mothers. was joe on kairos when the baby came? much love to you and your family. the thompson's
