BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT🎀
A new little soul joined us last week, and I’m so excited to introduce her to you!
Meet sweet little Sarah. Isn’t she absolutely gorgeous? This beautiful girl was clearly eager to meet her amazing mama, Laken, and made her entrance in quite a hurry!
Laken’s contractions went from 10–20 minutes apart to just 2 minutes apart in only a couple of hours. She had been beautifully managing her labour with breathing techniques and the TENS machine, but things soon intensified.
When I arrived at Laken’s home at 9:45am, it was clear she was already in transition, so we decided to head straight to the hospital. We arrived at 10:12am, and by 10:32am, sweet Sarah was in her mama’s arms.
Congratulations, Laken, on the safe arrival of your baby girl and for achieving the beautiful, physiological birth you had hoped and prepared for. Your strength and calm focus were so inspiring. What an incredible journey it was to witness. Thank you for trusting me to be part of such a special moment as your doula.
Congratulations also to Justin on welcoming your daughter, and for being such a wonderfully supportive birth partner - a true champion hip-squeezer!
Wishing you all the love as you settle into life as a family of five and soak up these precious newborn days.
Love,
Jodie ###
