| my midwives were amazing |
These are just a few pic from the last half of my labor. I highly recommend having a birth photographer. My pictures have so redeemed so many moments for me that I would have forgotten about otherwise.
CLICK HERE to see the rest of my labor/birth pics posted on Tirzah Photography's photo blog.
As you are looking through the blog post be sure and watch the video of Samuel singing the lulaby he wrote for Kael.
It's beautiful! <3

go you for wearing those big ole earrings during labor.
ReplyDeleteAlso a crying mess after that post. As Lora said you worked so hard to bring him here naturally. You're nothing short of amazing
ReplyDeleteI feel very fortunate to have Damaris as my friend since we were little girls. She sends me sweet stories about births she has attended such as this very sweet and inspiring one of yours. She was present at the birth of my third child at home 18 years ago as my friend and support. She is an awesome person and friend, and midwifery is definitely her calling. I wish you all the best with your new little one and hope you continue to inspire others with your strength and beauty!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing your story of strength and beauty - this is truly inspiration for me right now as I am in my second trimester and planning to have a natural birth. 43 hours is amazing, but you did it and are such an inspiration to others.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy I stumbled upon your blog and wish you all the best as you adjust to life with your new addition!

I have just had a look at all the stunning photos that your sister took, and she wrote such a beautiful account of your birth. It certainly sounds like it was the hardest thing imaginable, you are a very brave and strong mummy :)

What a wonderful blog, and beautiful family! You are absolutely radiant. I so wish we had gotten labor pictures.
ReplyDeleteSuch an inspiring story! You did SO amazing! I have to tell you how neat this is for me though, Damaris is my midwife, I've never seen her anywhere on line except with my births! So neat! She has delivered two of my children and will deliver another in November! So cool! I realize this birth was a while ago, but you deserve many more congrats! You did so great!
