Bear Joseph McDonnell Born fashionably late—just 1 hour and 20 minutes after his due date. My water broke at 9 PM, right as I was about to go to sleep, and 4 hours later, he was here. It was a beautiful birth and the perfect way to close out this chapter. Being able to experience a new baby one last time is something I will forever cherish. Thank you for completing our little family, Bear. We are so in love with you. And thank you @centralparkmidwifery for giving me back to back dream births!
