How can I describe this experience in one blog post. Brittany and I had been texting back and forth about how she was feeling. Anytime I know Ive got a birth I get anxious closer to time wanting to be sure Im there when need be. The night of baby Stella's birth I had literally just laid down and got a text from Brittany that they were headed to the birthing center. I jumped back up and headed out within 8 mins. The drive to the birthing center seemed short I guess because I was so excited to get there. As I arrived the staff was super welcoming and led me to the birthing room. This was my first water birth to document and it was a little new. Its completely different atmosphere than a hospital in a wonderful way. Brittany was in the birthing tub with Matt sitting next to her holding her hand for support. The room was relaxed and quiet so Mom could focus on laboring and not lots of people, noises and machines. Once the harder contractions came and baby Stella made her debut it was so beautiful. The entire thing. The entire birth. The entire experience. Watch Baby Stella's birth story here:
