Levi's birth- a story in pictures

Eating food from steak and shake :)

into the tub, labor is easy

contractions not too bad

a little more intense, but still smiling

the tub!

Alan looks frustrated here, and if you could see my face, I would look that way too. We wanted the belt off. No one was listening to us. We were not consenting to this. We felt so powerless.

Alan being my rock.

Finally I took charge, began walking around the room, and labor really picked up! 

at the end of a contraction, Alan holding me

squatting low and hanging on Alan during an intense contraction

into the tub, it's getting really intense!

probably around 9cm





I have to push!

Caleb came in to watch his brother be born


It just felt right to be in this position, more laying down, so I went with it


Caleb watching

he's here!

"That's my baby!!!"

so beautiful

mama and daddy




Caleb so concerned as Levi was crying

pure joy, no pain, no weariness, just pure joy

daddy holding his newborn son as I got out of the tub
