Pushing, Pushing, Pushing
Childbirth is something magical all its own. Witnessing a child being brought into the world is one of the greatest wonders. I remember the day my nephew was born very clearly; however, the night of the 29th, was something fascinating. A natural childbirth has been my intention for some time now, but witnessing how peaceful it was for this tiny princess, sealed the deal for me.Katherine Ember made her appearance at 9:24 p.m. During labor, +Erica, needed some noise around her. So her idea? Call the three fairies! Tink, Belle, and Jane were ecstatic to be a part of her big day.
Her mother did extraordinarily well during labor. She handled the labor pains like a champion with only the occasional words in another language. In the end she had little miss Kate while standing. I was shocked at how quiet and peaceful the birth was not only for the baby, but for Erica as well. Being a part of this birth has inspired me to look into home birth more and more. I know many of the challenges that I will face in doing so; however, I want the best environment possible. I don't see a hospital offering such for me and my family. I know that my future husband, our family, and our friends support us in our request for a home birth.
