JJ's Birth Day - June 5, 2008

I found out I was pregnant back in October, and right away we started planning our homebirth. My due date was June 13th according to my OB/GYN (Friday the 13th!) and June 14th according to my midwife. JJ didn't like those numbers; he decided to come on June 5th instead. If you want the story from my perspective, which was somewhat warped since I was in labor, you can read my birth story. Otherwise, here are all the details you could possibly want, and then some:
