How you can support our Home Birth: 

Dear friends and family and EVERYONE who has made our world wonderful enough for us to consider bringing a sweet baby into it:  We are reaching out to you for your support in our decision to have a home birth.

I always knew in my heart that this was the best and most peaceful way to guide our baby into this world and after much reading, talking and researching all the wonderful reasons to have a home birth, our decision feels so exciting and true to our core beliefs about life and birth.

We have found a wonderful midwife, Kelly Murphy @ BirthYourself.org who has brought us a wealth of information along with a sense of ease and trust in ourselves as parents to be. We feel that birthing at home where we feel safe happy and comfortable is the best thing for us and this sweet baby. And we trust our midwife to give us the care we need during this momentous occasion, however it proceeds. 

Because health insurance does not cover any of the costs of a home birth, we are pooling all our resources to birth the way we feel empowered to birth. We need to come up with $3,000 by our due date (MARCH 28th)!

Because we have already received such a generous abundance of practical (and adorable) baby goods from our friends and community, we are asking that if you wish to gift us, you do so with a donation of any size toward our Home Birth. For us, this is the greatest gift you could give us and our baby, and we will cherish this occasion for the rest of our lives.

 Dan and I are so grateful for all of the love and support we feel from our community as we become more and more pregnant. We are so excited to introduce our little clown to all of you!

Many thanks and love from all three of us, 

 Danielle, Dan and Sweet Baby
