Melanie and James' Birth Story (Part I)

Two days ago Melanie asked me if I would consider doing a birth story for her.  I was so excited and I jumped at the chance! I have documented the entire third trimester for her so I couldn't wait to share in this part of her story too.  Yesterday I got the call that Melanie was in active labor. She was induced 2 weeks early due to a couple of medical problems. When I arrived the lights were very low and Melanie still had not received her epidural.  Labor was long and she was tired, but oh my was she amazing. She even had us laughing really hard. I don't think women in labor should be able to have a sense of humor.  James was at her side the whole time and such a great support for her. He breathed with her held her hand and cried with the most happiness one could imagine when he could see his daughters little head. This was an amazing night for me. Thank you Melanie and James for letting me be a part of such a special time for you.  Your baby girl is just amazing.
