A happy Mother's Day to mothers everywhere...
The East Village has a new resident, born in an at-home water bath on Third Street near Avenue B.
Isabella Jane was born to her parents, Juana and Edward Rivera, on April 15, and she weighs in at six pounds, eight ounces, and is just about 19 inches long. East Village-based midwife Cara Muhlhahn assisted in the delivery; she was present for all four of the family’s births.
Also in attendance were Edward, Jr., 9; Rex, 5; and Luna, 2, plus grandparents and extended family.
Welcome, Isabella Jane!
