Kian's Birth: Photo Edition

Warning: some pictures display sensitive content.  

My constant support!

My favorite labor position 

Lavender

The big gush 

Ice

Resting with Stadol 


My 2nd favorite labor position

Getting close to the end

Getting closer to the end, beyond exhausted

Doubting that the end will ever come

Feeling like my body is being ripped apart 


Yelling out with all my strength, it helped me find the physical strength to push 

The moment I've been waiting for is almost here

Some feelings cannot be expressed with words

                    Beyond relieved 


Relieved and grateful 

The moment we've been waiting for


In awe

Thank you, placenta, for all you've done for 36 weeks to grow and nourish my baby

The postpartum journey begins

8 pounds, 20.5 inches tall!

A strong heart 


A very good breastfeeder from the start!
