Violet Alexa Wren Kleffman

7 pounds, 7 ounces, 19 inches long, born at 929 this morning.  Midwife didn’t make it.  (I told her she probably wouldn’t) and I delivered her.  My wife is the one-push wonder. <grin>

We are going to rename the farm now.  Four daughter’s Farm.  Not sure if we are going to change the URL.  We will see.  If we do, it will be a redirect as well.  Need to raise more food I guess.  We have another mouth to feed.  Mom and baby are fine.  It was so nice to not be doing a 90 mph run to a hospital and then trying to explain that even though she had just gone into labor, that the baby was coming NOW.  When a woman’s body knows what to do, it is really a fairly calm non-traumatic experience to just let it do it.  Had a nice day at home, the kids stayed home from school. and they all sat happily in the bedroom and watched their sister come into the world.

Just a wonderful day overall.

    how about 3 daughters and counting farm? lol

    beautiful, both of them. congratulations. i admire you for this. so many men would never even try or be prepared, because of our cultural semi-taboos or fears. you showed just yet another benefit of what being in tune with nature can result in, what we have lost in a supermarket life! kudos. many happy birthdays for the lovely little one and all of you.

      we are in our 40s. I think we better stop while we can still reasonably care for them to adulthood without dying of old age first. Going to be 60 by the time Violet graduates from high school.
