Bradley Reunion

We had our birthing class reunion today.  We did the Bradley Method of birthing - basically one of the many classes that help those who want to labor and deliver without medication/epidural/intervention.

Only one of us did not birth in a hospital - instead choosing at home in a tub, which I was so impressed that she did this for her first baby.  But most all of us managed to go without epidurals (and those who did had extremely long labors 20+ hours). 

Anyway, all the babies were gorgeous;  all boys except for 1 girl; all born between June 1-August 9.  It was fun to see them "not" interact with each other (too young) even when we layed them on the activity mats. But they were all so alike, now Matt and I feel good that Wes is growing normal (which parent doesn't worry about this?) And it was just great to talk to everyone again without the stress of impending birth on our minds.  You could tell we were all much more relaxed (despite having infants!).   I hope that we can all stay in touch.
