Birthstream families (and midwives) were busy in 2016 growing their families! As the year came to a close we reflected on all the births we attended and all the new feet we met! Let's look back on our year...the firsts, the lasts and all the in-betweens.

First babies: 15
Sixth, seventh, eighth...or 10th baby: 7
Second generation home birther: 9 with 3 of those families having both parents born at home!

6 lbs+ 6 babies
7 lbs+ 19 babies
8 lbs+ 20 babies
9 lbs+ 12 babies
10 lbs+ 2 babies
with 25% of all babies over 4000 grams (8 lbs 14 oz)!
