My
little Isaiah Mitchell Jacoby was born at home Friday,
Jan 4, 6:37a.m.. His birth was attended by Marilyn
(midwife), her assistant (Janice), Diane (my co leader,
whom was there for my girls), Meredith and her son Aidan
(a dear friend and her 8 month old son), my husband and
our three daughters.
Contractions started at 12:00 a.m. but were the kind
that were questionable ( as to whether they were the
start of real labor). At approx. 3:00a.m. I was awoken
with contractions that I was sure of, were the real
thing. My birth team arrived between 4:00-4:30, about
5:30 my three year old nursed for a few minutes...that
set me into transition and by 6:20 I was ready to push.
At 6:35 my water broke spontaneously, 6:37 he was born
weighing in at 8lbs. 13 oz. 21 inches.
Our son was born at home into the loving arms of his
whole family. If I can sum up our experience in just a
few words...these words are what come to mind:
EMPOWERING, HEALING, BEAUTIFUL!!!
