Awe!!!
This mama waited TWO WHOLE WEEKS past her due date to meet this little one, only to have an active labor of less than five hours. Her patience paid off! 🤍
When she called, she was calm and collected, letting us know that her water had broken and that she thought it was probably time to meet up. The birth team headed in, and once she arrived, she told us that her contractions had slowed down.
But this mama listened to her intuition.
She knew that if she allowed her body to rest and acclimate to the space, her contractions would pick back up- and sure enough, they did! ✨
Just an hour after arriving, Dad let us know that she was feeling pushy.
From there, things moved quickly!
This mama demonstrated incredible strength and confidence as she caught her own baby in the tub. And then came the moment she had been waiting nine long months for: she got to discover who she had been carrying all this time.
A GIRL! 🎀
We all knew this was going to be a special moment, but I don't think anyone in the room was prepared for what came next.
Mama leaned back, snuggling her brand-new baby girl against her chest for the first time, and softly whispered:
“Thank you, Jesus.”
I think the whole room teared up. 🥹
This mama demonstrated such grace, strength, patience, and trust at every turn throughout her pregnancy and birth. And when the moment finally came, it couldn’t have unfolded more beautifully.
Congratulations to this now family of FIVE! 🤍
Welcome to the world, Sadie Beatrice. You were worth every single extra day of waiting. 🎀✨
