The ill-fated birthing pool

We intended to have a water birth, but the enormity of the pool Chris bought made it so filling it with our kitchen tap would have taken several hours. Instead Miles was born on the bed in about the span of an hour.

This is probably a good thing anyways- a full pool with mommy and baby in it could have easily fell through the 121 year old floor of our kitchen. Lets call that divine intervention that we didn’t end up trying…

    Good lord that’s large! I have a friend who had hers in her bathtub… I like the idea of a home-birth. I’m so glad everything went well!

    Amen for divine intervention…..
