Jacob is HERE!

I am often asked, "What is a birth story." And of course, there is a weird look that goes along with it. And I explain that it includes capturing the amazing moments before, during (no graphic pictures), and the most precious moments after birth. But I always encourage people to see the pictures, THEN they understand. It is the most incredible event that I can be part of...Becki's birth of Jacob was perfect! She had Jacob at St. Luke's and it was truly a blessing to see him born. Check out some pictures that tell Jacob's birth "story." And maybe you, too, will understand why I LOVE birth stories!!!

Becki was smiling ear to ear before the scheduled C-Section. She was relaxed and joking as always. I seriously had sooo much fun...plus, the nurses and doctors were lighthearted and awesome, too. This always makes for a fun birth.
