A really cute idea
I did a home visit to my lady who birthed a few days ago and as I pulled up to her home I saw a big stork on her lawn with a cloth diaper with a doll in it's mouth. She saw this in Holland and took a picture of it and then made one of wood and painted it with her older daugthter. After the birth they stuck it in the ground to announce that the baby was born! This is the custom in Holland. So cute I think. I asked her to send me a picture and when I get it I'll post it. I think it could be a nice custom to start here to let the world know that homebirth is "out of the closet" and we are proud to announce the new arrival.
