Documenting Labor and Birth
Having a second baby has been a really good experience because we were able to change some of the things that happened that we didn't love at Moses' birth. One thing was we decided this time we wanted an extra set of hands to take photos and help Paul if he needed it. We asked my good friend Aubrey (who is conveniently a photographer) to help. Here are some polaroids she took. I am so glad I have these.
These are really beautiful. Enjoy your new little guy and take it easy!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! Is there anything more worth documenting?
ReplyDeletelovely, lovely photos. congratulations!
ReplyDeleteReally wonderful that you were able to document such precious moments in this way.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Thank you for sharing. You inspired me to reconsider photos during labour if we have a second child.
ReplyDeleteOh that picture of you looking at him is so so precious. That instant connection of mother and child is pure beauty and joy. Congratulations!
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful idea! it captures the his birth day so beautifully...and the labor experience. congratulations...he is darling! well done!
ReplyDeleteLove these.
ReplyDeletewoah these are awesome. such good lighting and perspective
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are beautifully done. Congratulations! I wish you all the best.
ReplyDeleteThese are so precious.
ReplyDeleteThat labor one still kills me... the tear! And the last one is my favorite for sure. So glad Aubrey was able to be there to capture this for you and Paul and Ro-Ro. It's so much better than just the "after" photos that I have. Aubrey has such a talent.
ReplyDeleteYou all look amazing. I love the Polaroids, thank you for sharing the bits and pieces of your life.
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous that you have these, Jordan. What a treasure for your family.
ReplyDeleteCongrats again!
Paul looks so relaxed! How does it feel to be a family of 4?
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of polaroids. These are so special! I love your son's name!
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful as was the lovely photo of Roman to introduce him to your 'oh happy day' family. The journey of his arrival has been a lovely counterpoint to all the visual beauty you offer in your posts. Thank you for sharing this most special gift you have - a lovely new son with all of us.
ReplyDeleteThey are such beautiful photos! I wish I had seen these before I had my babies and implemented my "no camera" policy. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThese are stunning. What a treasure, to have captured this swift, intense, fleeting moment, the ultimate before and after. And a belated congrats on that sweet little fellow.
ReplyDeletebeautiful. congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing. What a beautiful gift for you and your little one. One day he'll treasure those for sure.
ReplyDeletethose last two are especially amazing. priceless. you are so lucky, when we had muller in november, no one was allowed in with us because of the swine flu precautions.
ReplyDeleteOh, that is a nice idea! I wish I had more photos of the process --these are lovely. Great idea for number two!
ReplyDeleteSo amazing! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThose are just beautiful. Made me choke up. Thank you for sharing them.
ReplyDeletelovely photos. my doula took photos, which i haven't looked at in a year, but i'm glad i have them.
ReplyDeleteI love, love these. Aubrey did a wonderful job (as did you).
ReplyDeleteFantastic. As someone else said, possibly the most important thing to document!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.

ReplyDeleteWow these photos are amazing, and so is your baby. They really capture the labour and birth. Gorgeous! I love polaroids. He's a lucky boy to have you, I wish you well with the surgery, he is an absolute beauty. One of my best friends was born with a cleft palate, she's one of the most self assured and grounded people I have ever met, she says she was made strong and determined by this and the love her parents gave her. Oh and she's just about to have her first little baby! Happy days! x
