Baby R has arrived!!!!

Yesterday afternoon while I was getting my hair cut, Jeff sent me a pin to let me know S, a birth client of mine had called to say today would be the day. I was so excited! So, I quickly proceeded home to get things in order....kids to bed, batteries charged.....and then S called to let me know that they were on route to the hospital.
Something in my gut told me to go, possibly could've been anticipation, don't really know. I hopped in my car and got to St Albert in less than 40 minutes (not bad at all!).
Here are a few teasers....of course I need to go through them with Mom and Dad before I can post anymore.
My arrival time......where the contractions were coming steady, but S and R were still cracking jokes and chatting up a storm.
Beautiful Baby R still warm inside, waiting for just the right moment....

I couldn't help but find this poster amusing......look at those crazy faces on the side...



S's water broke....


And then baby R was born, with what seemed like ease, strength and great determination. Please don't mind the blurriness, I'm really going to have to learn how to properly focus while I'm bawling like a baby....


Look at how perfect his bits are. Here I go crying again. He has so much hair, and is so healthy and perfect in every way.
I am so grateful I was able to be a witness to baby R's arrival into this world...puts a whole new perspective on life again.
Thank you, S & R for sharing such a special day with me. I will carry it forever in my heart.
Welcome to the world Baby R....Happy Birthday!
