On Tuesday, October 20 at 9:59 AM, we met Michael Asher Bradford for the first time! He was 7lbs, 14oz at birth and 20 inches long.I am so thankful that labor did eventually start naturally when my waters broke at 2:20 AM. I was in labor around 4.5-5 hours, total. It was a natural, unmedicated birth and Christian was an AMAZING Bradley birth coach!
I’ll be posting the full birth story on my family blog when I have time later, so keep checking!

J, I am soooo happy for you! Congratulations again on a healthy and happy baby and birth.
Beautiful photograph of you and Michael Asher above, by the way. I hope I get to meet him soon! When do you think you might feel up to getting up and about?
Salut,
Marjorie
Thank you, Marjorie! I can’t wait to hang out with you guys again! I am not sure when we will be out and about yet – I am going out to a mom’s group on Thursday for the first time and we’ve taken him to the pediatrician several times as well (he is lookin’ good!). But I would like to go out more, like for dinner or something soon!!
What a beautiful birth! The baby is gorgeous and you are the perfect picture of a natural mother! I love the picture of you in bed holding the baby, everything about that moment seems perfect.
