@joeysorts Home birth is not for everyone, but we wouldn’t want to do it any other way. We did so much research and preparation in order to feel confident and safe giving birth at home. This combined with a calm environment and knowledgeable/experienced birth team allowed for an ideal home birth. #homebirth #homebirthbaby #crunchymom #naturalbirth

My wife gave birth at home with no medication. Here's how it happened. She didn't know if she was peeing herself or if her water broke, so we decided to set up the birth tub. Eventually, we confirmed her water broke, and the professionals arrived shortly after. Then the all star got loose. She bad the medicine balls, stretches, just did her thing. Clearly wasn't our midwife's first rodeo. I did my best to support my wife as things got more intense. But it went quick. She got out of the tub and gave birth standing up. Truly the most amazing thing I've ever seen someone do. My wife is the coolest. Birth our baby at home. And that's us worse.
