| Cutting the umbilical cord. |
 |
| This was the first baby I have had since my grandmother's passing. Wearing her ring during the birth was important to me, as a way to keep her close by and still share the experience with her. |
 |
The most painful part of my day - working through the pain of getting
a stitch with the help of my doula. |
 |
| First latch. |
 |
| My midwife cleaning me up a bit after I got up to pee. |
 |
| Herbal bath. |
 |
| Taking a moment to honor and thank this amazing organ for all that it has done. |
 |
| Our second nursing session. |
 |
First meal made for me by Ryan. Hanging out, laughing and chatting
with my amazing birth team while I eat. |
