Daniel Whitefield Johnson made his appearance January 11, 2013 at 11:59 p.m. He weighed 7 lbs. 5.5 oz. and was 20.5 inches long. The midwives at Mountain Midwifery Center were so wonderful and both Chris and I were so grateful for their expert help.
Daniel's due date wasn't until January 19th. Since my Mom and Grandma were always two weeks late, plus the average birth date is 41 weeks and 5 days for the birth center mommas, I was totally surprised he came a week early. Not only that, he came fast and we only made it to the birth center with 20 minutes to spare. My dream of having a water birth didn't come to pass since I didn't want to bother with it at that point in labor. I just wanted it to be over, and soon it was! :-)

He doesn't look too pleased, but he slept peacefully all the way home.
It was about 10 degrees outside. His little BundleMe kept him nice and toasty! |
