Very neat story. My husband's best friend delivered both of his children in home births with the help of a good friend who is a midwife. That's the way I'd prefer it. But I agree with most of the comments. The couple must be prepared for such by making sure that there is no known reason that would preclude an attempt at such and be prepared for the unexpected. Congrats Dad in the delivery of your son. I am sure it will bond you even closer as it has with my husband's best friend to his wife and his son and daughter. They are so much closer having experienced the birth of their children together in such an intimate way.
