I started late in life with children. 48 to be exact. My wife is 11 years younger than me. When we met she did not want children, but as time when by she changed her mind and wanted children. After some discussion we decided to have a child. I wanted a little girl and she wanted a boy. She got her wish and I was just glad to have a healthy baby boy or girl did not matter.

My wife had a water birth with only a midwife and her assistants no doctors. It was something to behold, the whole birth process. The midwife was cool and calm and talked my wife through it al. The whole birthing process took about 2 hours.  It was awesome for me to watch a new life being born and then to hold this little thing in my arms, and all he wanted was to be held and cuddled. Every time I watch the video of his birth the tears flow. As I write this I have tears in my eyes just remembering what it was like. The first night of his little life he slept in my arm very content that he was safe. I was happy that I had a little boy that wanted to be near me. We now have a inseparable bond and I will not change anything at all. He was one of the best things that happened to me.
