Thank you for sharing this story. I have known some younger couples who chose to have their babies at home. All five of mine were born in the hospital. I had super easy births and thought about having my last one at home, but thankfully didn't he got into trouble. It's a miracle he's here. Good luck with the contest.

Yes, that was a thankful day. Bringing in new life is a wonderful experience and you did a good job showing and sharing the even with the readers

The only suggestion I have is in formatting and spacing when it comes to dialogue by different speakers.

Short and sweet although I am a man I love babies and have a large family of Grandchildren eight and great grandchildren five and children three. I am always the one who gets to hold the baby and luckily they seem to settle down with me. I like nothing better than holding a new baby and get quite emotional about it. Loved the story glad everything went alright. Kooky.

This is such a wonderful story. Home births are so special, I wish I could have had my children that way. You made this story so personal and joy-filled. I imagine this was so wonderful for all involved. Very nice presentation.

This is a beautiful, sweet memory, Laura. I can only imagine the euphoric feeling of being so closely involved with this birth. Well written in the limited number of words. Good luck in the contest.

Was it this year? If so, then was it Canadian Thanksgiving? In any case, CONGRATULATIONS!! Thanking the Lord for a safe birth at home. How brave of them! I can't imagine what a birthing tub looks like but I guess it's the right posture for giving birth.
Thanks for sharing! You might want to change the category to Non-Fiction biographical as this is for the True Story Contest.

This story gave me goose bumps. What an amazing experience for the three (four) of you to have gone through. I'm so glad it all worked out and I see little Hawkly in the picture. Lovely story. Good luck in the contest.

There's nothing more miraculous than the birth of a new born baby, particularly if it's born at home, and if your mum Was originally a nurse, beautifully written and an exciting share, well done, blessings Roy,
