- 1 - scary minute (45 seconds) when baby #2 of the night/morning had a stuck shoulder

I love seeing the news about these beautiful, healthy babies. Bravo, guys. What a blessing you are to the families.
His eye is on the sparrow and I know he watches over you.
Lovely pics. Praising Him for two more good outcomes. Thankful for emergency equipment when it's needed.
If you don't mind my asking (and if you'd prefer not to answer I understand), how often do you see PP hemorrhages? Lots of factors play into it; I'm just curious. Imagining there is a high incidence of maternal anemia, which ups the chances, but imagining that you're also pretty low-intervention overall, which decreases the risk. Plus, everybody breastfeeds, and the good drugs do help when you need them. Again, just thinking out loud, and am curious.
Keep up the great work. Hugs!
I LOVE THIS POST!!! Keep up the good work. Thanks from high speed photography
Hooray!!
The gift that you give these women is so unspeakably precious. Thank you thank you thank you.
I love these pictures of moms and new miracles. I found your blog tonight and can't stop reading. God gave me a heart for children and since becoming a mom myself I find it growing to include young moms. Supporting moms supporting/loving their own is so important/wonderful, no matter where in the world you may be!
