Laicey's Birth Story

So for those of you who don't know I had  my third daughter Laicey at home with a midwife. It was quite the experience. It was wonderful, exciting, and a little crazy.  I would defiantly do it at home again with the help of my mom and my midwife Lydi Owen.

 It was very relaxing and comforting to be at home. I loved that my other two girls got to be here as well and welcome their new baby sister. Not to mention the recovery was so much easier and less painful then I was expecting.

My labor and delivery was very easy but hard at the same time and also worth every minute of it. I started have contractions on Tuesday march 26 in the early afternoon. They continued through the night and with very little sleep on my part we welcomed Laicey Selepa to world at 9:46 on Wednesday March 27. she was 8lbs 9ozs and 21 1/2 inches long. My biggest baby yet.  Also Wes went to work that morning and took a fifteen minute break to come home while I actually had Laicey. It was very needed for him to be there with me while I had her. With me every step of the way was my mom, midwife and my aunt Amy. It was the best feeling to know that I had the strength, power and courage to have my baby at home since I do not have high risk pregnancies. I do recommend having your baby at home if your comfortable and have a great midwife and support system. 

The miracle of birth is one the greatest gifts from our Heavenly Father. To hold one of his sweet spirits in your hands to raise, nurture and teach is a great blessing. I am so thankful to be a mom and have three beautiful daughters.
