Baby Sailor--A Birth Story

I am in awe of the gift that life is and the beautiful, amazing women who give birth! Bringing a new life into the world is truly an accomplishment. I continue to feel so much love and respect for these special ladies and their strength. This birth was challenging and beautiful.

Sweet baby Sailor was two days past her due date. But she made up for it with a quick delivery! (I'm sure mama would have liked the epidural to kick in first, but I suppose we don't always get what we want! haha) And this mother was amazing! Things progressed rather quickly, and I'm glad I didn't miss the birth! There is nothing so beautiful as a new-born baby. I was honored to be part of this. Here are some of my many favorite images...
