WOW! What a beautiful story! I found your blog from Trying to Tri’s. I went to the doctor yesterday with a high leak and glad to know someone else has had one. Because until yesterday I had never heard of a high leak. Hope your days are going well!

Hi and congrats on a beautiful baby boy. I’m a lurker for sometime (renovations -and our older home in PA is very similar to yours). Thank you for sharing your birth stories; it brought back memories of my 3 deliveries. We are anticipating the birth of our first grandson in November. Love the pictures… God Bless your little family
