Birth Stories

On 9/17 my husband Warren and I headed down to San Antonio from our home in Kyle (over an hour away)! Today is the day we, hopefully, get to meet our baby! A little backstory, we had spent the past 3-4 weeks re-planning how we would bring our baby into the world since we found

On the eve of River’s birthday each year, per tradition, I share our birth story…. For the past nine months Raul and I have been preparing for a HBA2C (home birth after 2 c-sections). We read all the books (Ina May was my favorite), watched all the documentaries and took a Bradley class to educate
