Eliam was born on August 29, 2009 after only 8 1/2 hours of contractions. We are so in love with him! He weighed 4000gr exactly and was about 50cm long. He was born at home and all went so smooth and well. Homebirth is the standard in the Netherlands and I had my doubts first, but the widwives are so well trained and skilled. It was really special to have a baby in our own home.
Laneah is such a big girl all the sudden and she is a great big sister. She loves to hold Eliam and kiss him, but she needs to adjust to not getting all the attention any more. But she'll do just fine.
