Birth Day

Labor started with my water breaking at 3:00am on Sunday, August 7th; one week after my estimated due date. We planned to have a homebirth with In The Beginning Midwives, but due to high blood pressure, I delivered at Riverside Medical Center in Waupaca. Unlike most hospitals, I was not required to be strapped down to a bed with monitors the whole time. Everything did not go perfectly smooth, but if you ask Steve or me, we loved the whole event and would tell you it was perfect.

   

Timothy Stephen Decker was born naturally on that Sunday at 9:45 pm.
