Happy birth day, baby James!

Little James Robert entered the world this morning at 6:02am, weighing in at 7lb 4oz, and measuring 19.25in. His mommy began labor with gentle contractions, then bravely worked through a very intense latter part of her labor. She found her rhythm beautifully, kept talking to the baby, and moved through labor with strength and grace.

Congratulations, Mom, Dad, big sister and big brother! It was an absolute honor to be invited to be part of this unique time in your lives, as your doula!

And thanks to doctor Tate for enabling, guiding and supporting a VBAC birth once again!
