03.14.11 Children/FamiliesLife's First Breath ~ North Carolina Birth Photography |
M y phone rang early Sunday morning. It was Brittany. We are leaving for the hospital in an hour. Wonder. Excitement. Anticipation. Today would be the day that dad and I had the honor of documenting a babys first breath--her first acquaintance with the world.
I dropped my two girls off at their nanas for the day. Dad and I drove to High Point Regional Hospital where Matt and Brittany had already settled into their room and were starting to walk their laps around the labor and delivery floor. I quickly realized that Brittany was tougher than most. The only real sign of a contraction was the way that she reached for Matt and grabbed his shirt...his hand...his shoulder. They are a great team. It was amazing to witness how she clung to him with each contraction--but took the pain like the strongest and most graceful woman Ive seen. As the labor progressed, the room grew so silent that a whisper felt deafening. Dad and I knew at that point, it was almost time. Dr. Sansing came in...commented on how easy Brittany was making labor out to be...then asked if she was ready to meet her little girl. I watched as Brittany and Matt worked, surely as God intended man and wife, to meet their little girl. Brittany pushed, Matt encouraged. Brittany pushed, Matt encouraged (and even brushed her hair out of her eyes--I know girls, my heart melted a little). Within minutes--literally 20 minutes, the world got just a little better when it met Miss Piper June. Her entrance into this world left me breathless. Ive never been at such a loss for words. I stood there in awe of the miracle of life--of Gods creation. Congratulations Matt, Brittany and big brother Jett. Welcome to this world Piper June (you have some pretty amazing and special parents). Thank you guys for letting us have the honor of being there! ~Lindsey~ |
