My name is Donna and my husband Gabriel and I live in the East Valley with our 8 children. We have 4 boys and 4 girls, ranging in age from 18 years down to 1 month. Our tie-breaker (a GIRL!) is due in July 2010.

Our first 4 children were born in the hospital and the last 4 were born at home. I got my desired water birth with #7 and it was amazing!  Now, with #9 on the way, we are planning another home water birth!

We are passionate about home birthing and are thrilled to offer our birthing services to other expecting moms.  Please contact us with any questions!

~Donna Chavez

"The tub was fantastic!  While laboring in the tub, I was able to relax and actually fall asleep between contractions.  It made a huge difference in my comfort.  Also, the Chavez family was fantastic--they delivered the tub several weeks early when my midwife said the baby would come sooner than expected."

Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. As arrows are in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one's youth.  Happy, blessed, and fortunate is the man whose quiver is filled with them!

Psalm 127-3-5b
