Our Family Heir was Born in a Pool of Water

February 14th is our Valentine’s Day baby’s birthday! What gift could be better than that? He will be 12 years old. He’s the only male in our daughter-in-law’s family of girls and more girls, not counting her brother She gave birth in her living room in a pool of water. She’s all for natural childbirth, leaving the gooey stuff on, organic only, nursing etc…. My son and a birthing doula helped deliver him. He was fit as a fiddle but examined by his pediatrician soon after. We all joke around calling him our male heir, but he will carry on our family name some day. The photo looks so ladi-da, that I couldn’t resist using it.

Happy Birthday to your grandson. At least you have someone to carry on your family name. My father family names ends with my brother.

@DianneN - My husband never changed his mind and his family name will also end with him.

Thanks so much, Anna. That would be our case, too, if my grandson doesn’t want kids. Time will tell if our younger son wants any, but right now he really doesn’t with the way the world is now.

@LadyDuck You must have agreed not to have children. Aniella told my son that she would be alone in the world without any, but that's not true. She has a brother who may marry and have children one day. First my son wants to see how their relation grows. Then he has to decide if he wants to ever get married again.

@DianneN What kind of music does he like? What instruments does he play? You know I am one of the best music teachers in the world. I just printed out a song that has both guitar and flute in it. It's a for a 13-year-old guitar student who also plays flute.

@TheHorse He seems to like popular music as all the kids his age do. He plays the guitar and piccolo. Crazy, huh? I wish you could stop by and give him lessons, pointers, or just jam with him!!!!!

That, too, as well as a musician and tennis player. However, being goalie in ice hockey is his most favorite.

What a lovely story. If I were to have had a baby, which I'm not cos I'm too old now, I'd have liked to give birth in a birthing pool.

@sharonelton It hurts the same no matter where you are, but it's a better entrance into the world for a baby.

@DianneN I think it would be more relaxing in a birthing pool.

It's amazing he was able to be born that way and there were no complications in his birth.

Mom is healthy, thank goodness. An ambulance was parked around the corner if there were any complications. Mom had given birth 20 months previously to our ice princess, so knew what to expect. She is an amazing person and I give her her credit.

@DianneN She sure sounds like it. And it's good that all precautions were taken and she was prepared if other interventions were required.
