Auburn AL Birth Photography – Welcome Baby Garrett!

Nicole knew baby Garrett wouldn’t make it to his due date, and boy was she right! She texted me early in the morning to let me know she was in labor and they were headed to the hospital. Judging by her labor signs, I thought it would be a good idea to head over as well, and I was right!birth photography auburn alwoman in laborNicole had delivered her first three sons with epidurals, but she wanted to try delivering Garrett without the use of pain medication. This sweet nurse helped her get settled in the room.

As soon as she was able, Nicole labored standing at the end of the bed. She was in the zone and was very good at controlling her breathing and staying focused.husband helping wife in labor

Unsurprisingly, Josh was such a great birth partner! He worked hard to help Nicole in any way he could. tight grip during labor

Dr. Smith did such a good job caring for Nicole and working to give her the birth she wanted to have. He came and checked on her and congratulated her on a job well done. I highly recommend him as an ob-gyn!getting to know new babynewborn on scalenewborn checkupdaddy meeting sonnew baby footprintsnew baby cryingdaddy kissing new babydad kissing new sonpush present for mommyI loved Josh’s beautiful gift to Nicole!
