Brody Forrest Crews

He is finally here! Brody Forrest Crews was born Friday, June 9th at 2:10 pm weighing in at an even 12 pounds .... yes, I said 12 pounds. He and I are both doing great. My midwives were both wonderful and once again, Brett was awesome. This was a very tough labor and birth for me as Brody was turned the wrong way and seemed to be stuck on my pelvis for a while. This caused continuous pain for me with no relief between contractions. After pushing for what felt like forever and trying every position in the book, I was finally able to push him into the birth canal. In the end it was a great home birth and by not being at the hospital, I avoided a c-section. There is no way I would have been able to do what I needed to do to get him out if I were in the hospital, especially not without my midwives, Jessica and Lynne.
