This is the story of Penelope's last few days in the womb and exit into the world.
This was my healthiest pregnancy. A bit of nausea in the beginning, on and off heartburn, and no complications. From the start we wanted to go natural but still leaned towards a hospital birth. After several conversations with different doctors in the practice we decided a hospital birth would not be conducive to our needs and wants and switched to midwife care at about 22 weeks.

Well, being that Penelope is 3 days old now and hasn't had a bath yet, we decided it was time for her first sponge bath. She didn't like it too much, but we really didn't expect it to. Here are a couple pictures.

The whole home birth experience was awesome. There is, however, one item that the midwives can't clean up or throw away for us. Anyone who is familiar with the birth process will know that the placenta is also delivered after the baby. Since this is technically an organ, it can't just be thrown away. Some people put it down the garbage disposal, some put it in the freezer, some donate it to science. We decided to use it as fertilizer for a tree. We bought a pear tree and planted it in the back yard. It is now dubbed the "PeneloTree".
