Wordless Wednesday: Labor


About 2 hours after my water broke
My water broke at 8:11 pm on Tuesday, January 22nd. Canon was ultimately born by Cesarean at 6:28 a.m. on Friday, January 25th after hospital transfer. I hope to write his complete birth story this weekend, but in the mean time, here are some photos taken by one of my midwives during labor!

Many, many contractions looked like this.


My husband was an incredible support through
a very long labor and eventual hospital transfer

    Congratulations, Joella. I'm sorry you ended up with a hospital transfer, but when it comes down to it, it's most important that little Canon is here safe and sound. Big hugs, mama! I will never regret birthing in water. <3
