Mason’s Arrived!
Well, it took only two short hours for Angie to go from hard labor to holding a baby.
She did it all in the water tub, with all the family around her.
Mason is doing well. He’s very relaxed and has hardly cried, which we understand is typical of water-birth babies.

Love to you all,

So happy to read the good news! I’m also glad you had a successful VBAC as that’s my plan for the next tyke. Way to go!

Congratulations to all, enjoy!

Well, Angela …
You did it, finally. And, you did it your way, like you said you would.
Mason looks absolutely perfect, and ready to fill a position on the first rugby team smart enough to spot him!
Congratulations to you and your on-the-ground support team.
