What a day!

I did my first birth session this morning...  Suzanne called me at 3am, headed to the hospital.  Her goal, that she had been pursuing passionately, was an unmedicated VBAC - and she did it!  Her sweet baby (until she posts his name, I won't) was born at 6:20am, and I was home in time to have Charlotte to her 845 pediatricians appointment.  


What an amazing experience!  I'm so grateful for the opportunity to document this for her and Aron.


Charlotte's stats: 27 inches long, 18lbs 3.5oz.  She's an itty bitty!
