Benicio is born!

May 22, 2014.  Short version:  Having a home birth, the timing couldn't have been more perfect... I had a feeling all day that something was different.  I was having a lot of lower back pain, and I felt like the baby was really low.  We were able to get both Isandro and Lina to bed and asleep by 7:30.  Our amazing midwife, Anita, arrived to our house by 8 pm, and Benicio was born at 9 pm!  It was a very short and quick labor and birth!  For the longer version of his birth story, you can email me. ;)

My last picture pregnant! 38 weeks.

Look at that big brother!  Love that smile. :)
