Rafe Tyler Hansen

Rafe (pronounced like safe with an 'r') was born Saturday, November 1, 2008 at 10:12am. He was 8lbs 9oz, 21.5 inches long, his head was 14.5 inches around! The midwives called Tyler the Daddy Doula because he was such an amazing birthing coach for me. I always wanted to deliver naturally for at least one of my kids. Well, now that I've done it I won't do that again. Rafe is such a good baby and sleeps well at night, he enjoys eating, and loves when Tyler sings to him.

Congratulations Steph! He is super cute!! I'm glad you updated too, it's been a while. Way to go all natural, I tried that with my first, but it was just too much.

OH MY GOODNESS STEPHY!!! He's PERFECT!! I'm like freaking out here I'm sooo excited for you to be a mommy!!! You look fabulous! I can't believe that you did it naturally! Just wait till you get your epidural on your next one, you'll be like, what was I THINKING?!@?!? Although I really am so impressed, I couldn't do it.

Well, I hope that you're getting the hang of this, I promise it gets better...those first few weeks are...well, for me at least, really hard!! But everyday got better and better and better!! I LOVE YOU!!!

Congratulations! He looks happy and healthy. I was surprised to hear that you wouldn't repeat natural childbirth. I've never met someone who didn't prefer it, once they tried it. Did something go wrong? I am so glad he's here and you're well. Check out my blog, I've finally updated.
