August 20th at 11:42am Deakin Fowler Coffman was born at home in the water with his whole family in attendance. The short version of his labor and birth is as follows: My water broke around 11:45pm on August 19th, contractions started about an hour later. But they were sporatic and irregular in intensity. But I still got up and got things ready and called Robert so he could start home. With some help from some friends, we got the house picked up and the bedroom set up. I took some walks outside, ate some, and tried to nap too. But the contractions were strong enough that they wouldn't let me sleep. Robert pulled over around 4 in the morning to sleep for a few hours. My midwife came over around 5am and I finally entered some active labor a little after 9am. I took a shower and then got in the birthing pool. Robert made it home sometime around 10am. I started feeling pushy around 11:30ish and we brought all the kids in the room for the birth at that point. Baby boy was born at 11:42! I caught him by myself. He weighed 8'12 and was 21 3/4 inches long. : ) Two hours after his birth Darby cut his cord and we got him dressed. Here are a few pictures!
