Last week I had the greatest honour to watch a special little girl come into this world. Tracey birthed Tahnee in water, in a comfortable home environment. It was dark and quiet and it was just amazing to watch a woman take complete control of her body, to ride the waves of contractions, withdrawing into herself bringing her daughter closer to earthside with each painful minute.
granted homebirth isnt for everyone, it takes a special momma to do this, and I am so proud of my friend for achieving this.
I was shaking, and I have wanted to see a birth for some time now. I am so thankful for the experience.
This photo is just moments after she was born, and was lifted out of the water, when baby and mum met eachother....
and then a few moments later the reality sets in. She's here!!! all the pain is going, we have a baby!!!! there is no words to describe the moment. those who have had children know the feeling well, and to be on the other side, the emotions are no less than if it was your own baby.
