Danica gave birth at 4:33AM. She was TOTALLY HARDCORE. She labored through the night and when the midwife asked, “do you want me to check if you can push?” She responded, “No; I want to wait and go as long as I can.” Total pushing time: 3-5 minutes.
No name. Weight unknown. We’re going to sleep. Better photos later.

WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO! I’ve been checking here constantly waiting for this awesome news! You go girl! I can’t wait to hear about how everyone is doing. What a great picture. Congrats on that little boy. Jameson will be thrilled in a few months when his brother can start to play. My older two are only 17 months apart and it’s great fun! A playmate! Rest up everyone and be blessed! And welcome to the world little guy!
Congratulations!
HARD CORE! 3- 5 minutes?! Yea, I’d say that’s pretty awesome. Congratulations on a sweet home birth. I can’t wait to hear the story (but take your time getting it to us: enjoy that precious baby for now).
you definitely get the award for most accurate due dates!! love you guys – congratulations!!!
Hi there! congratulations to all of you! I was delighted to hear of a successful home birth and a new little face. I like reading your blog.
@ Liz: she totally does. One baby born the day before her due date (like– 3 hours before, actually) and then one born the day after (like– 4 hours after, actually). Next time, I expect a baby ON the due date exactly at noon. :)
Oh man… it’s killing me that you’re so far away, D!
it was almost on your birthday, ryan!!!
were you in labor when i spoke with you yesterday?
many blessings on a wonderful new addition to your family. can’t wait to see him.
love margaret
Ahhhhh! Congratulations! I am so overwhelmed for you!
How’s the carpet Ry?
I’m psyched for hearing the name next. :)
@ Mrs. Nordberg: from what I understand, Danica went into labor at 10pm their time (1am our time). Does that help answer your question?
Congratulations! I’m so happy for you! Maybe you should name him Colin. ;)
Congratulations on your new little blessing! Enjoy!:-)
Yea! A weight! I’m with Brietta about the name. Can’t wait to hear!
Congratulations!!! That is such a sweet picture. Praying for a calm, sweet, blessed time with your new baby.
Oh My Danica….CONGRATULATIONS!!! Your dad left our house last night around 9:30 P.M. our time. To think that shortly after that you were in the throws of labor. I love you and anxiously await the news of this precious little boy’s name and all about your homebirthing experience. CONGRATULATIONS Nana…Love you too! Nancy C.

I can’t believe that my brother has brothers – and my sister has sisters….I’m sure between naps there is discussion of my new newphew’s name – isn’t there a 12 hour rule or something??!! Can’t wait to know him and call him by his name!!!
I think we need yet another Gabriel/Gabe! Just kidding! Congratulations. Can’t wait to hear more updates. Enjoy your little butter ball!
