first birthday trauma

At least with my 2 kids the first happy birthday singing cake presentation has elicited tears instead of smiles.  The pasta on the other hand made up for the trauma

Lucia's home birth

To celebrate Lucia's first birthday today I wanted to post some pictures of her birth.  It was a perfect birth in our home.  The only regret I have is not getting my hair highlighted/cut beforehand because it looks awful! Scott took a few of these pictures, but most were taken by our doula Melissa Lewis who is a great photographer!
