Introducing, for the first time on NSJM, but maybe in the last place of all my other social media outlets, my VBAC baby girl.
Meet Emma.

Squishy baby, just a few hours old.

"Oh, you're the lady with the boobs, right?"
8 pounds, 6 ounces

20 inches long
Med-free VBAC.
I did it, y’all. I so did it.
And I’ll tell you ALL ABOUT IT as soon as I have a chance to do so with both hands. I’m behind the curve on typing one-handed while nursing a baby and eating a meal and saving the world with the other one.
Dude, you are SO awesome. My med-free VBAC idol. Think I can do it in a few months?
Congratulations on this beautiful baby girl. Love her name!
SQUEEEEE!!!!! I am so proud of you and so happy for you! And she’s just adorable.
