I got a call yesterday evening saying that this mama was in early labor, but she kindly waited until this morning to call anyone to come. Yeah for a full night's sleep! She was absolutely stunning. She was totally calm and peaceful and did wonderfully. Her support team (awesome hubby, a great doula, and two outstanding midwives) were there by her side thru it all and she just did great.
We were all excited to find out that it was a boy! One of the cutest moments though is when his big sister comes in the meet him and someone asks her what she thinks of her new brother and she replies, "I have a big nose." LOL! I think it was followed with a comment on how little his nose was, but no one heard it over the laughter. Gotta love the thoughts of a two year old. Ok, now the good stuff!!
All hands on deck!
This is one of my favs of the whole birth. He literally came out, went on mom's chest, lifted up his head, and looked at mom and dad. AMAZING. I love homebirth. Sigh.
Big sister!
The whole family for the first time...
I loved this wrinkle face...
Gazing into mom's face...
Safe in Dad's arms...
Perfect tiny toes...
