Please welcome Louise Focazio, born right here at home, 12:37 AM,  about 90 seconds after the late-night arrival of the midwife. This is my second child born right here at home. I highly recommend homebirth for anyone planning to have kids. 
   
 Shown here, from left to right, taken about 10 minutes post birth. 
My mother-in-law, Arlene, who wrangled the kids while I helped Paula with the labor. 
My daughter Evelyn, who is checking mom with a stethoscope.
My wife Paula, who, given the incredible effort of birth, seems rather chipper. 
Lousie, who is yawning. 
My son Martin, who was a super-helpful kid throughout the pregnancy and afterward. 
I'm now equipped to sleep less for a while.
