Beauty in the dark

Yesterday and into very, very early this morning I was privileged to attend the birth of my very overdue client. It was calm and quiet, puntuated by some very funny moments. Again I am amazed and humbled by the incredible strength of a laboring woman.

Baby Zoe Sophia arrived at 12:54am this morning into the arms of her overjoyed parents, weighing in at a healthy 8lbs 12oz. Welcome to the world baby girl :)

I arrived home sometime after 4am this morning and my saint of a husband took care of our own brood and let me get a little more sleep. There will be nappage to be had this afternoon.
