Fingerprints All Over My Heart
Day 39 Part 2
Cannot resist posting again. Just had a baby born in the caul. To those of you who do not know what that means it means the baby was born inside the membranes. The baby was out to her feet before it burst and as I brought the mama up I simply undraped his first "blanket" revealing his perfection to us all! Lovely, simple, perfect birth for this mama of four. She had only been in the building for about 10 minutes or so when we began to see the clear, beautiful "crystal ball" issuing forth from her body. I am so, so blessed! She is vibrant and already up eating, and the baby has had a little "nip" of colostrum and is peacefully drifting off to dreamland. I know in some ways it is not a good picture of the typical birth, but all midwives will see these sometimes and what a huge rush, affirmation of our principles, and blessing they are! Good job mama, good job baby and good job birth team! We all did well!
