Birth story, part 7. I just groaned “no!” I didn’t want my sweet girl to be pulled out with a vacuum. I was lost. But then I remembered: We had a daughter coming soon. It was up to me to get her here. I pushed. It had been 34 hours since my water broke. I’d been actively contracting for 21 hours. I couldn’t remember life before discomfort. And then all of the sudden – she was here. No head then body, just all at once, here was our baby. She was crying and looking around with her big eyes. I was in shock it was finally over. Then we learned why things were so hard. Her cord was incredibly short. We couldn’t get her above my belly button. My placenta was high so poor girl had a hard time getting down on her little bungee cord. Kevin cut the cord after it stopped pulsing, and I brought this little stranger to my chest. She was so alert. REALLY cute. I couldn’t believe she was ours. My placenta came out a few minutes later. Poor Kevin looked down at just the right time. 😆 Our little girl nursed right away. The adventure continued as I had a 2nd degree tear which required stitches. But – I had our baby in my arms. Finally!! Despite this not being the plan, despite an incredible amount of pain and interventions that we didn’t expect, I didn’t feel that I had a “bad birth.” I’m so thankful we switched to a hospital birth in advance so I had time to mourn and adjust. I’m thankful we were able to get help when interventions were needed. And despite every new challenge, I’m thankful that all of our decisions felt like a collaboration rather than made for us. We were respected, something that I worried about after hearing hospital horror stories, and so well taken care of. After researching short umbilical cords, I found they double the chances of complications and more often, lead to c-sections. We ended up being where we needed to be with the right team to get this girl safely here. I am grateful for our doulas, Courtney & Lauren, the midwives, and the labor and delivery staff at North Fulton hospital for taking care of us. Labor was another lesson. Make plans, but be open to whatever the universe brings. Thanks for following along ❤️
Our little angel was in her first commercial today! 💕 She handled it like a champ. Honestly, we were probably more stressed out because we wanted it to go smoothly for everyone. 🫣 The production seemed happy and we’re stoked that Cora herself will make the first contribution to an account that will hopefully set her up for a very bright future. ☺️
we’re ready for you, baby girl 🌻 Getting teary eyed looking at this room and knowing how close we are to meeting her. 🥹 I spent a few hours working on a blog with all the steps links but it didn’t save. Another thing that made me cry today. 😭 Feeling extra hormonal over here, but also extra love for the work and time that we family/friends put into this space. 💛 It’s just magical. #nurseryinspo #nurserydesign #nurserygoals #babygirl #babygirlsroom #interiordesign #sunflowers #pregnantlife #pregnant #thirdtrimester

Somehow it’s September 🍁Yesterday was beyond beautiful. My friends took over our backyard and made the cutest fall baby shower! @wowbrookeshere, we’ve been friends for over ten years at this point and I’m amazed at all you did to organize such a stellar party! Seeing you play with all the kids in between hosting is also now a core memory 🥹❤️ To my ladies @haileyswartwout, @just.jenia.sue, @shadyoldlady, @emadams0, and @jcraigey, thank you for making delicious dishes, decor, and that very intricate balloon arch! 🙏🏼✨ I was also stunned to see my childhood friends who made the trek all the way from North and South Carolina – @dr_erinriley, @heatherbagley77, @amwoods27, @brinyythai, and @tcarolinek, who literally just had a baby a month ago! 🤗❤️ I’m never not gonna love seeing you guys. Thank you to all the friends who came. To the people who’ve supported us from afar. And for all the beautiful and generous gifts, as well as support for our little one. We are so so lucky to have all of you in our lives. ☀️ #fallthings #fallbabyshower #8monthspregnant
