She was born at home. I knew a few people would question our sanity for choosing a home birth, but we knew what we were doing (except that it was Niamh's choice, of course, and I merely supported her in it).
Lola, Shea and Cian were all in the room when she was born. I know a few people will definitely question our sanity for allowing that to happen, but they were well prepared, and were very excited and happy about it.
Mother and baby are doing well.
Congratulations! Glad to hear everything went smoothly and all are well. How's papa doing?
