I had just told Stuart Greenhouse that I wouldn’t want a home birth because of all the preparation. Well, Olive Cameron Ager Beverly arrived in a blaze of glory as I stood in the front hallway of my home. She was caught by her father.
Our home looked like a murder scene for the last three days until we could get home and clean it up. I’m taking time off this blog and 32 Poems to recover…

Deborah- Congratulations! She is precious~ best wishes & health to your entire family!
Wow! That is an incredibly beautiful baby — not just saying that. (Look at that hair!) And, I know what it’s like to have a beautiful baby, people were constantly stopping me in the street after my son was born to remark over him.
Congratulations!
Yea! Homebirth. Good. You must have felt relaxed & happy: home.
Maybe you’ll want to join our Po’ Po’Mo’ Mommy group blog. I plan to start one up. I was going to do it thursday, first day of school (YEA!!) but I got too busy enjoying the time to write — and the quiet! But, in all honesty, at almost 11, he’s a great son for a writer to have; he’s great when I’m actually working.
Enjoy! They come with instructions in the box.
Congratulations! She is beautiful. My 3rd son arrived on June 19th. Oh, the pure happiness a new child brings with them.

O what a beautiful baby with a perfect name! Congratulations!
What a joyful time! Once you clean up the hallway like a murder scene, you can start turning your living room into a bright plastic train wreck (if you’re anything like we were…).
Concentrate on happiness and sleep! All best wishes!
