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!
Here is their story through my eyes of photography
