THE TEAM

One thing that's so wonderful about the homebirth experience is the personalized help we get from family and friends. My parents were both here, and did amazing work with the girls. My mom has been here working her tail off for me for 3 weeks! Dad came just in time for the birth, and helped keep the girls happy.




I am overcome with gratitude for our midwives, who treated us with complete respect and honor. We were relaxed and completely confident in their care. Everything went the way we had hoped, much to their credit. In this picture are the midwife who attended our birth and her apprentice. They were wonderful!



We are also grateful for our chiropractor who came and gave us all adjustments in our home afterwards. What a gift!



We have seen nothing but pure adoration from the girls towards "new baby Quinn." They both love him very much and touch him with careful, gentle hands.
