Our journey of creating family – A fertility endeavor
Category : General
February was awesome, we did lots, headed to Yosemite, then to Tahoe a couple of weekends. Then came home to an awesome surprise, Grandpa Mark sent Willow a old school Radio Flyer, finally took it out for a spin this weekend.
and the Tahoe photos
Last weekend we spent a few days up in South Lake Tahoe, great snow, and a great time had by all.
She is really interested in the keyboard these days. woot!
One week ago Willow Nerys was birthed at home by my amazing wife Joy. We embarked together on a journey of family almost 3 years ago, it has taken determination, courage, hope, and love, as well as a huge number of our friends, family and strangers holding us, supporting us, loving us, and rooting for us. To each of you, thank you!
Willow was born at home in a 4.5 hour labor sprint, that flew by in a wink of an eye. She entered our home via warm birth tub, where Joy had labored most of those 4.5 hours. Willow weighed in at 7lbs and measured 21”, and is healthy and beautiful. Loved ones and our midwives have been taking excellent care of us through out this entire journey, and it simply rocks! We have been staying home, and basking in what i call the “Baby bubble”
Joy is the most amazing woman! Seeing her as she birthed life, has been the most deeply moving part of my life. I am so proud of her, so in love with her, and so ready to continue to deepen our love/life together for ever.
Words just can’t capture the vastness of the experience for us, best I can do right now is put together a short video from the last week.
At 6:32AM San Francisco, September 22nd 2009 Willow Nerys Lagos Sortore came bounding into the outside world.
After 4 ½ hours of labor Joy courageously pushed her out into the warm birthing tub water, within a few seconds Willow took her first breath, and made herself be heard loud and clear.
All 7Lbs of her are in perfect condition, and mama Joy Lagos is doing awesome, enjoying some well earned rest.
With hearts wide open,
Rodrigo, Joy, and Willow.
Yesterday we started the 37th week. As official as it gets, baby is done cooking. All systems go, and ready. Very exciting time. I fell asleep thinking.. humm the next time the sun comes up, it could be a dad. wow that is cool.
The excitement is hard to contain.
It feels like there is an alien inside my tummy. we have got one wiggly baby growing in there. can’t believe we are at 32 weeks. it seems like time is just flying by. still working on getting things ready for the arrival but not much left to do.
