A few months back I had the privilege of getting to know Jib and Jeremy with a very quick maternity session. Right away it was evident to me the love they had and the excitement that was in the room especially in Jeremy for the birth of their son.
March 30th was her due date and I couldn't wait for that day to arrive, I think I almost was more excited than Jib was haha probably because I didn't have to do the pushing I got to just witness the miracle of birth.
Jib had first contacted me to photograph the birth of their son at home for a water birth...as usual baby's never get the memo and he had his own agenda but we were all still so happy for his arrival.
8:05am March 26th I got a text and was stoked as it said her water had broken, but no real labour yet so we had to wait...and waiting is not easy for me...finally March 27th at 3:04pm I got the text that she was in active labour. The moment my husband got home to take care of my children I rushed off to Victoria General where all the action was happening...imagine my surprise when I get there and Jib is sleeping :( sad face for me but good for her as you need as much energy as possible when about to give birth.
After milling around the halls, taking a drive, getting a snack 2:15am rolled around and it was push time!
With the assistance of her awesome midwife a few nurses and a tiny bit of help from the on call OB 3:45am Gavin was Born. Weighing in at 8lbs he was a tall order for Jib's tiny frame but she did it and she was a trooper.
Congrats you three your going to be great together!
