October has been a busy month, and I have been falling behind with my blog! Although I’m not yet finished editing the images from the beautiful, perfect and speedy birth of Maggie, I wanted to share just a few that I love, and hopefully more will be coming soon! This serene Mum did such an amazing job of labour and delivery. So amazing in fact, that little Maggie arrived barely 10 minutes after me!! When I received Matt’s call at 5am to say that he and Val were just leaving for the hospital, I mistakenly interpreted his relaxed and casual tone for time up my sleeve! I’m still not entirely sure if he actually did think it would be a little while before we would be hearing those beautiful first cries, due to his wife’s calm demeanour, or if he is just super relaxed. Either way, I thought I had enough time to stop and go to the bathroom on the way into the hospital, when in reality I should have held on!
Maggie’s grandparents were all there to greet her immediately following birth, and her very excited big sisters too! It was such a special room to be a part of at that moment, and I feel so privileged to have been there.
Oh, and maggie was the most quiet, calm and captivating little newborn I’ve ever seen. She barely cried at all! She just lay placidly and wide eyed on her mum’s chest, taking in the room. I was a little bit in love with her…ok, alot!
Thankyou so much Val and Matt for allowing me to be involved in such an incredible moment and with such a lovely family! x
