Luna turns 4

On Aug. 7, 2019, the Riveras welcomed Luna into their family and home on Third Street

And since then, Stacie has stopped by to help her family celebrate Luna's birthday.

This year was no different, as she photographed parents Juana and Edward Rivera and Luna's siblings Edward Jr., Rex and Isabella Jane on this occasion last weekend ...
... along with many other friends and family members.
Happy birthday, Luna!

Welcoming baby Isabella Jane

Photos by Stacie Joy 

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!

Welcoming baby Luna



On Aug. 7 at 1:48 a.m., Luna Rivera, weighing 7.2 pounds, arrived in a water bath birth at her parent's home on Third Street.

She was greeted by her mother, Juana Rivera, 33, and father, Edward Rivera, 34. She joins siblings Edward Rivera, Jr., 6, and Rex Rivera, 3.

All three of the Rivera children were birthed at home under the guidance of East Village-based midwife Cara Muhlhahn. (You may have read about her here or here.)

EVG contributor Stacie Joy was at the Rivera house in the days after Luna's birth. Stacie shared these photos — with the Rivera's permission — of Baby Luna's first few days at home.
