Reed was born at the Women's Birth and Wellness Center in Chapel Hill, NC. They have large rooms for delivery and a great family room with kitchen. The birth was everything we had hoped for all of us - lots of time together and lots of control for Rachel. Rachel (Birth Mother), Bill (Birth Father), Shelly (our Friend), Kathryn (Rachel's Sister), Maura (Adoptive Mother), and Doug (Adoptive Father) all got to the Birthing Center at about 4:30am and started to use skills we had learned together at our birth class.
After Reed William Max was born we spent the day together at the birth center holding the baby, eating, napping, and having a good recovery day. Maura's mother Meredith, Gigi, and little Meredith showed up a couple of hours after the birth with food for everyone.
Here are some more pictures.
