One Year Ago Tonight

I alternated between breathing through increasingly difficult contractions and kicking Jeff's tail in Wii bowling. Mom played photojournalist.








Later, our sweet doula, Kim, arrived. Labor was more difficult, the time for game playing was done. Jeff rested a while and Kim babied me.



It wouldn't be long before getting to meet our darling "Baby Dos"!

Did you have baby dos at home? What a neat story.

Oh, no...she was not born at home. Although that would be a great story! We just didn't head to the hospital until early morning.

I am in awe of home birthing mothers...but for the sanity of my husband and family we have done fairly traditional hospital deliveries. (More traditional than I'd like, but that is another story.)

Ahhh what a beautiful memory. I love that she documented this in pictures. I have never thought of taking pics while in labor but made sure Nick had the camera in hand for when Annabelle came out.

Thanks for posting this and let us peek into your life. :)

P.S. Went to Watermark for Christmas Eve and loved it!
