ONE YEAR AGO





In about 15 minutes it will be the exact moment that Nehemiah Leland Harcrow was born. Robin always has quiet and peaceful births. Our entire family was there as is always the case when a new member of the clan comes into the world. This is not everyones cup of tea but it works for us. When Jaylon was born, Billy (my son) didn't want anyone there. They may see a private part and that would be terrible. Hey, he found out pretty fast that nobody is looking at those parts. Nobody is there for all the pelvic exams. The birth is another thing. The Dr wasn't needed. The midwife is the mother of Billy and Robins best friend and she let us all be there after Billy felt comfortable with it. For myself, having the room filled with people who loved me and my baby was my dream come true. I felt so safe and cozy. My kids and friends were always there with me when I gave birth. Heather was the first to bathe and diaper newborn Joey. He and Billy were both homebirths. I had the 3 girls at the hospital. I was still allowed to have everyone with me. Back to Nehemiah. He was born at 2:30pm. His brother Jaylon was thrilled. Heather, Sara and Cady plus the baby girls, Maddie and Natalie were all there too. I know this is not for everyone but it sure feels amazing to have your family right there. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BROTHER. Jaylon started calling him Brother and it has stuck.
