I had the amazing privilege of being a part of my dear friend Summer's birth team for her home water birth of Ziah Storm, son #3 for the Hill family. It was a beautiful birth. Summer was a wonder and baby Ziah was born into a cozy warm environment surrounded by all those who will love him all his life. After baby's entrance, Summer and Ziah were wrapped up on the couch and I gave her a well deserved foot rub while they got to the business of nursing. Summer's dad had made an awesome fire in the fireplace and her mom was there with homemade bread and her calming presence. Summer's midwife, Fran was supportive and relaxed. Dad Casey was a champ of a coach for Summer and her sister Macklen and friend Kari were there to help with the boys and anything else they could. It was so great to be reminded what birth should look like. Gentle, peaceful, natural and empowering. I am so thrilled I was there and could help. Congratulations guys!!!
