PHEW! 😌 This life can get so busy and time just always seems to go faster! Hi everyone! Miss me? 😉
I wanted to pop in, while I'm rearranging and planning exciting things, to talk about a recent birth! I love birth stories! 🥰
On the 26th, a beautiful little baby boy was born into such a spirit led family! And his birth truly showed the resilience of a mom, the peace of a father, and the timing of God!
This mama, she is a warrior! Not many things with her birth went as planned, from the prolonged labor to the fears of cord complications and possibilities of unexpected outcomes. She stuck to her advocacy, she spoke for what she needed and asked all the right questions. She took it one step at a time and pivoted where she saw fit. When I say she's resilient, I mean the type of mama resilience that only comes when you are running on empty - with lack of sleep and limited food. When she felt completely spent, she surrendered it all to God.
All the while, dad was a solid rock of peace and stability in the midst of what felt like curveball after curveball. Relying on God, trusting me as their support, and checking in on mom, being present the way Jesus did in the storm. There's a powerful force in any room where peace is kept.
THEN GOD! God has a habit of making His perfect timing always seem so last minute to us, but isn't that also the point? Stuck at 6cm, waiting for shift change, feeling like there was nothing left to give, God stepped in and stepped up in a big way and gave this mama the delivery she wanted, and she finally progressed to 10cm and +2 station (after a total of 5 days contracting and laboring). Mom moved into a semi-reclined position, dad and nurse helped to stabilize her legs and shorten the birth canal, I played a pushing game of Tug of War with the Rebozo, and then, few pushes to help baby get around that pelvic bone, then one push and she welcomed that sweet boy right into her arms with no complications 🙌
Welcome Home little man, you are deeply loved and cared for. The arms that welcomed you will continue to hold you in all you do. Welcome Home.
