Whitney had been having on-again-off-again labor for a few days, so when labor kicked in for real, it was for real! When I got the call to come in, it was “yeah, you should probably come now.” In the half hour it took me to drive to Whitney’s house, labor had totally ratcheted up a notch and she was pushing when I walked in the door!!!

The face of determination!!

12:23am Baby is born!
The look of satisfaction, the look of “I did it!!!”
I love the baby toes and the cute mama toes! 🙂
1:03am Dixie making some notes in her chart.
Whitney had a lot of support and family members at her birth. Big Sister showed up just after Baby was born and even though it was late and she was tired, she just fell in love with him right away.
Big Sister checking out the tub where her brother was born. Whitney did not stay in too long after giving birth, so it was still relatively “clean”.

Congratulations Whitney & Chris on your handsome baby boy! Whitney you totaly rocked the VBAC!!
Many thanks to Dixie Story and her awesome midwifery skills.
