A beautiful birth

I had the wonderful privaledge of attending the birth of a long time friend of mine. This was baby #4. Her first was a c-section for breech, #2 was a very fast vaginal delivery in the hospital, #3 was a difficult home waterbirth, and finally this little babe was to be born at a birth center with a midwife.
Mom called at 4am and said her water had broken and her contractions were more like cramps. I waited at home and got the kids ready for school. I made it to her around 10am. Things were still smooth and slow. Mom and I took some maternity photos since we were scheduled to do that the next day. Mom rested a lot and talked on the phone to update her midwife. We left for the birth center around 2:30 and arrived after 3pm It wasn't long after arriving that mom began to feel the urge to push. Mom continued to recieve awesome support from her midwife and I was able to snap some photos. Baby was born into mamas hands at 4:06pm 8lb 15oz and 20 1/2 in.
Gorgeous baby girl.
