Maia Silva Tuttle - Born 12/13/05
Email from Jon Tuttle:
Krystal and I are pleased to report that our daughter, Maia Silva Tuttle, was born at home on Tuesday December 13th at 11:55am. She measured 22 inches long, weighed a whopping 9 lbs 7 oz, and was delivered in a water birth exactly as planned. Maia’s entrance into the world was assisted by two midwives, a doula, and the strong partnership of her parents. It was an incredible experience.
Krystal, Maia, and I are now resting/recuperating at home. Everyone is doing great.
Attached are three pictures taken just after she was born. Two are pretty self explanatory, but the one where she is being weighed with a fish scale deserves a special mention if you’ve ever wondered how they weigh the baby after a home birth.
