Sarah's Homebirth - as told by her 'big' sister Anna
I was only three.
I heard Sarah cry when she was born.
I was in the kitchen - Grandma was
feeding me breakfast.
I remember when I first saw the baby.
I didn't know what newborn babies
looked like till then.
She was with mummy.
I remember there was lots of blood.
One of the birth women helped me sort
out some clothes for Sarah.
I remember when I gave Sarah her
first hug.
Sarah was at our place when I gave her
the hug.
