The birth of Gavin Bear

Born Feb 28, 2012 at 5:43am after 3 hours and 30 minutes of labor that started with his water breaking. Joined by my other children, I was working hard to push without scaring them so I sound like I'm hyperventilating at moments, breathing deep - it was to work with the intensity of pushing and be as quiet as I could. Gavin was 9lb 3oz and 21". Beautiful little boy.
