The long and the short of it all...

Birth is just so amazing! After supporting two births this week I am in love with our bodies, our babies and the beauty of it all again! These two births could not have been more different while essentially they were identical.

Both couples trusted that birth is a natural process. Both women understood that their own body was capable and strong. Both couples planned for birth by going far beyond the tradition childbirth classes and truly became informed and confident particpants in all the decisions surrounding birth. ANd both couples were surprised when the journey began a little bit differently then they had envisioned.


Their births began, 5 days apart in much the same manner, before their paths took some different twists and turns...
