Yesterday I was able to participate in the birth of my niece. I have seen babies born before but not since I have had my own and it was an entirely different experience. Mari decided to not have an epidural and labored for 18 hours and pushed for 2 hours. I feel so privileged to have been able to be there. I was there for moral support and ended up being a little bit of everything from breathing coach to pushing coach. Babies are an incredible miracle. Getting them here is exhausting and painful and I think pushes women to their breaking point and then they are here and it is worth every minute of pain and exhaustion. I love the picture of Jordan and Mari and baby Grace just moments after she was born. I think it says it all.
This is honestly one of the most beautiful pictures! You are right, it really captures the wonder of birth. Congratulations to your family!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a great experience. The baby is so pretty. Tell them both congratulations for us.
