Kalani Soul was born last Saturday. We are so happy to have him with us. He was born at home (which was planned) but it was not planned to have him born in the bathroom!
I got to labor in the ocean across the street for a bit until it got too cold.
Here he is just seconds after being born.
Kay got to help deliver Soul and was the first to hold him after he was born.
And here is Kay, my midwife, Soul and I looking like we're having a party in the bathroom! Don't be fooled -- it was a difficult labor!
Here we all are a bit past midnight.
It was definitely a combined effort for all of us to welcome him into this world.
Soul weighed in at exactly 9lbs, 22 inches long -- with shoulders 2" wider than his head -- a big boy.

Soul's wearing a onesie that Elysse had tye-dyed for him.
The girls fell in love with their brother the moment they saw him. (Sorry about the cheesy mom in the background!)

We have so much to be grateful for! I think Soul and I will always have a special bond. An experience I will keep forever. Heidi and Nate did an excellent job in giving birth. They were simply amazing. A beautiful family.
What gorgeous pictures of all of you! Welcome to the world and the family. I can see that his sisters are definitely in love. -Erica
Oh my goodness Heidi! Awesome job having him at home! He is beautiful. Do you remember that Jerome was born in the bathroom? So funny. I was sitting on the toilet. Were your girls born at home too? I can't remember. That's neat that you got to do some of the labor in the ocean. So fun. I'm glad to see you are all doing great. I enjoy reading your blog, thanks for sharing such a neat experience.
Congratulations! That's so awesome that you had him at home! Hope you are all doing well!
Oh, Heidi, he is so, so beautiful! I love how you can just feel how much you all adore him when you read your words. I know the feeling! Boys have such a special place in their mommy's hearts:)
Awesome!!! Congratulations guys, he is beautiful!
