I had the great privilege of doing a second private consultation for a mama I first “met” through the blog a few years ago, and I’m delighted to share that she’s had her third baby — a little girl after two brothers! She’s been given the gorgeous, meaningful name … Ro$alita Mar!e! (Alt characters used for privacy.)

Her mama writes,

“Kate I had a baby — a girl, Ro$alita Mar!e! … She was born at home right at 41 weeks and even though it was a wildly fast labor of 21 minutes from when the midwife broke my waters and I felt the first contraction to when Ro$alita was born, it also felt the calmest and steadiest of all three of my labors. It was quiet and focused and I felt so powerful and strong … [She] is named after my mother (her nickname is Rose), my mother’s mother (we called her Lita, short for Abuelita or “grandmother” in Spanish), and my middle name Marie.”

Isn’t Ro$alita Mar!e a perfect way to pull together three generations of women?! I love it! (And whoa, did you catch that?? “21 minutes from when the midwife broke my waters and I felt the first contraction to when Ro$alita was born”!!! Amazing!!!)

She joins her handsomely named big brothers:
