Eventually, finally, it happened. Baby was head-down, and Tiffany was in a safe window to give birth at home. We just had to wait patiently, which we did! Tiffany went into labor, and we all joined her in the morning (what an incredible gift to have a daytime birth!) Her birth was beautiful, powerful, and exactly what she had hoped for. CUE ALL THE TEARS.

You don’t know exactly what to expect. You have no idea how it will all unfold. Perhaps you’ve carefully selected a midwife-team to assist you at home. Or maybe you’ve selected an OB practice that feels warm and welcoming. You are trying to put everything into place for the day your baby enters the world. But there still is so much uncertainty - and wow, uncertainty is so hard. And then you’ve also been wondering - should I have my birth photographed? You’ve seen birth images on instagram that have moved you to tears. You’ve found strength in hearing and seeing the stories of other birthing people. You’ve even imagined what you might look like the moment you hold your baby in your arms.
