The Birth of Marlee

I love this family and love the fact that the older siblings were able to watch the birth. It made the whole experience feel powerful. This mama texted me earlier that morning informing me she was at hospital and already at 5cm. I did not get her message as I had my phone turned off.  Lucky for her, she and I have a same friend who contacted me and told me that the mama now at was 9.5 cm. She even rushed over and babysat my boys as I ran out the door. Lucky for me, this mama's husband was stuck at work so, the nurses slowed down the contractions. As soon as her husband arrived, the water broke and the baby came out 47 minutes later, in only like 3 pushes, I'm not kidding.
