We had a wonderful home birth and everything went great! Crist was actually born in his nursery room here at the house in a small pool of water. We had a midwife and 2 other attendants help birth our new baby boy.
Koryn's water broke at 10:05pm on Friday night and contractions started 45 minutes later. She did not get any sleep Friday night as the contractions were close enough to keep her up all night. Marvy (our midwife) arrived at about 2:45am, checked Koryn, and we found out we had quite a ways to go still. We all tried to get some sleep, but contractions came hot and heavy around 4:00am. She started active labor at about 6:00am and had a very long day until he arrived at 6:27pm.
That's all for now. Please leave comments for us.

Oh my goodness -- does he have red hair? He's beautiful! I think he looks like Timmy. :) Good job, guys -- you did great. I SO proud of you. Homebirth rocks!
Congratulations on the safe delivery of a very special and good looking baby boy! Koryn, good job... you look happy and very healthy even after all those hours. May God bless your growing family in many wonderful ways.
Crist,
Welcome to this amazing world God created. And, you do have amazing parents to give you a home birthing! May you truly be amazed as what God has in store for you and your parents instruct you in the ways of the Lord.
Aaron and Erica are having a son this Thursday, March 6; and Ryan and Tiffany are having a daughter June 14. We are moving back to MO June 1 as there will now be five grandchildren there.
Congratulations and WELCOME!

He came out with some dark colored hair, but it will likely fall out soon. It is brownish-black.

How precious is he!!! Congrats to you both. Buddy, I think in that little video you posted, Crist is trying to blow "spit bubbles!" He'll soon learn. Wish we all lived closer so I could come give him a little hug! Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to meet him!
God Bless You, He is Beautiful, Perfect, Amazing. Parenting is also alot of fun. Buddy & Koryn you will do great as parents. The journey starts. Awesome.
He's beautiful. God is so amazing. I am so proud of both of you. I wish I could have been there to witness the birth, but we'll be there soon to see our new bundle of joy. Koryn, you look great. I can't believe you pushed for over 5 hours. You're a real trooper. Grandma Connie looks like an adoring grandma already. I'm so glad you had family there to share the home birth. I hope you're both getting some sleep now. See you soon. We love you. Grandma and Grandpa.
We are so proud for you he is absolutely gorgeous. Koryn you look fantastic. May God continue to bless you all. Mark, Debbie, Matt and Luke Walker

Dear Buddy and Koryn,
Congratulations on the birth of your new little blessing! Babies are such precious and amazing miracles! Little Crist is already so handsome - and photogenic too! I loved the blog and the video. Thanks for sharing it. Ben and Luka and I will pray for you and your new family as you begin your parenthood adventure. We are so happy and excited for you. Enjoy this exciting time. There is nothing else like it.
You guys are amazing! I am so happy for you both. He is absolutely gorgeous, but there was no doubt about that one~ I can't wait to hold him!
I am so amazed she had a water birth! That is so fabulous!!!! Congrats, Buddy! It's fun to check up on old Cedar Valley people and see where they are now via facebook/myspace.
Koryn, you give me courage! I'd love to do a VBAC after 2 c-sections someday and seeing a drug-free home birth is so rare and cool! I've just ordered the business of being born via netflix and am interested to watch it.
Is it me or does Crist look just like Buddy?
Congrats again! Enjoy these little days - they pass WAY too quickly.
agh - forgot to leave my site...
