The Birth of Sequoyah Moon

Born July 13, 2004

First Baby - 9lbs 14oz


 

Right Before Pushing

First pushes

Back in the tub

Pushing with the help of her partner, this mother listens to her body for guidance on bringing her baby down. The room is quiet except for the sounds of her work.

First touch

Mom reaching down and feeling inside for her baby's head as she continues to push

Crowning

The intense sensation as the baby's head stretches the birth canal

Father's first touch

The father reaches down to feel his baby's head for the first time as it is crowning

More crowning

Blowing out to slowly ease the head through

The head is born!

Baby!

Mother and father have caught their own baby

First Hug

Immediately baby is brought to her mother's chest

Is it a boy or girl?

The mother and father look over and take in their baby girl

Relief

Tears of joy, celebration, relief and thanks!
