Gwen’s A Big Sister!!!

Please join us in welcoming the newest member of our family - a son!

William (Gil) Farrell Schellingerhoudt was born at home 3:23PM on February 19, 2010. He was 6 lbs 12oz and 20 inches long.

I had a FAST labour - I thought I was in labour in the morning, but it had quite the pause … in the end, my active labour lasted only 2.5 hours and I only pushed a few times!

We’re doing well - getting to know one another and getting breastfeeding well established. I’ll check in with you all soon with a birth story :)
