Second births are often far different than first births…and this certainly proved true with Erin. She came to the birth center nearly complete and ready to have her baby. While her first birth had lasted for days…this birth only lasted for hours. She got into the birth tub and quickly pushed out her sweet baby into her arms. I cried as I watched them embrace each other. I don’t necessarily like calling birth stories redemptive because I believe that each birth teaches us something infinitely valuable…but I do love that Erin had such a happy and smooth birth this time. I think these images convey just how magical it was.
