Holly was amazing and is doing wonderfully. With the birth of Joyce JoAnn (baby number six), Holly has now given birth in three states, on two different continents, and under almost every variety of non-complicated modern medical care. (in-hospital natural birth with midwives, in-hospital birth with Ob/Gyn and epidural, in hospital birth with Ob/Gyn and IV pain control, and now natural birth in a birthing tub at a birthing center with direct entry midwife. She is my HERO and a shining example of the courage, strength, grace, and FAITH that all women must possess to undertake the journey to motherhood.

Holly and Joyce at 0400 on April 15th, just 2.5 hrs after giving birth. This is our Midwife, Heather and her assistant, Jenee. We were home and asleep in our own bed at 0500 that morning. It was fun to have the kids wake up that morning and not even know that we had a new baby until they came into our room to say good morning.
