The Unexpected

Just got home from another birth.  We've got a sweet new girl in our town!  She is absolutely adorable and perfect in every way.

Mama had been planning a natural labor and delivery, then induction got thrown into the mix and her labor plans were up in the air.  A few hours into the induction, things were picking up quickly and mama decided to go for the epidural.  Unfortunately, the epidural didn't take and baby didn't want to wait any longer! 

In the end, mama had the unmedicated birth she had originally planned on, baby was born in her bag of waters (so cool!) and while none of it was really what had been expected, it was all very awesome!  Mama is a champ for sure!  Baby was just as happy to see mama as mama was to see baby and I left them both snuggled in bed, sweetly resting together.
