monday's are for births or week two

i was awoken at 5am to the midwife calling me that one of our mothers is in labour.

G3P2
first home birth

she was so strong. so powerful. so thrilled. so amazed at herself.

i helped as she eased the baby's wrinkly head out on hands and knees.

she turned over, reached down and lifted her baby to her chest in pure surrender.

happy monday.
