As their doula, I had the unique priviledge of witnessing the awesomely fierce birthing mama that Genia is.
After 12 hours of slow and reluctant labor, she entered active labor at 3pm this afternoon. When Brian called me to tell me labor seemed seriously on its way, around 5:30pm, I prepared to go to their home. As soon as I arrived Genia had the urge to push! We made it to the hospital with not a minute to spare, and the baby's head emerged just as Genia sat on the birthing bed.
Perfect, sweet baby girl, weighing in at 6tlbs 12 oz.
Congratulations, guys!
Here are some quick images I was able to capture:

I love the walking to the car picture. It is unique, and I love the memories that it will provide for the family "Oh yeah, I remember trying not to push right there" ;)
Congrats to all involved!! Thanks for sharing the photos...
