Whirlwind Birth for 4th Time Mom

This one is for the books! So much to love about this birth story.

Katelynn and her husband Robert labored together for a few hours with their 4th child before Robert caught baby on the bathroom floor of the birth center. Robert (who happens to be a firefighter/EMT) took such perfect care of his wife, only leaving her side a few times to tend to their oldest girl.

What I love most about this story is that this family has had all their babies with the same midwife, Amy Tate of Swiss Ave Birth and Wellness. Imagine the type of relationship and trust you build over all that time. Watching Robert and the midwives work together to render aid to Katelynn after birth was like being a fly on the wall in an emergency room. One midwife prepared the oxygen while another monitored bleeding while Robert administered an IV drip - each person calling out to the midwife charting and making sure all events were documented.

They were a well oiled machine, each moving part working to ensure the safety of Katelynn and baby.
