The Traveling Baby

Petra’s Home Birth in Maine

Petra was born on August 11, 2009 at the home of her grandparents in Bangor, Maine. It was probably the most fun I have ever had at a birth . . . well, except maybe my own. I am not sure if Hannah would use the adjective “fun” to describe it, but, none the less, it was the best birth we could ever imagine.

Petra traveling in Eastern Europe in the womb — Chaya, Petra’s mother, and Wade, Petra’s father, traveled through Eastern Europe, the Balkans, and the Middle East while Petra was growing in the belly. Here are some photos from these travels.
