Darwyn Jean Gutoski was born on 2012-March-21 at 19:35 in our home. (Actually, she was born in an inflatable birthing tub just
outside our home, under the back veranda as described in the
previous post.) She weighed 3.4kg (7lb 8oz) and measured 52cm (20.5in) at the time of birth. Both baby and mother are in excellent condition. Active labour lasted only three hours. Just as with Max's birth, the
midwives who delivered Darwyn did a fantastic job and we are extremely pleased with our home birth.
Darwyn has successfully fed several times already. (Though she's being stubborn about it at the present moment). We are grateful to our friends and family for such support during this delicate time. Thanks, everyone, for your patience. We'll post more as we find the time.

The rest of these pictures were taken earlier today, when Darwyn was still less than 24 hours old.

Yay!! Congrats guys! Can't wait to meet her! Glad to see Max looks pretty thrilled with this new development :)
ReplyDeleteWay to go team. That is so exciting. I can't wait to see everyone and to meet Darwyn.
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS to both of you!!!!!!!! Max looks so intrigued and excited in the 5th picture. 3 hours of active labour still sounds like a lot to me! (but it looks like you did an amazing job.) :) Looking forward to talking with you and hearing all about it!
