Reed Brian Flaherty

Reed Brian Flaherty was born on July 7, 2010 at 9:33am. He weighed 3.535kg (about 7 pounds 13 ounces). It was a natural birth in every way. Becky and baby are absolutely fine. During Owen’s birth, Becky had a very rough time. This time, she emerged without any tearing at all.

Becky may want to share more about the birth later, but I want to thank our midwives, Tania and Leeann, of Far North Independent Midwives, for their incredible assistance with this birth.

    Congratulations!

    I wrote to you a few months ago interested in getting out of the US and exploring the idea of NZ.

    I have a 3.5 year old and KNOW the US isn’t going to work out for us.

    You two (+ kids) are such an inspiration! You are on the “right” path!

    Kudos and warm vibes your way!

    Man and Nature will bring back the hour
    Of splendor from the grass and glory of the bower,
    That new our farms will cultivate;
    We will not grieve but rather find
    New wealth, new health, new paradigms;
    The time is ripe and not too late
    For splendid herds and splendid yields
    And splendid children born of splendid fields.
