I've know Kelsie and her family for about 6 years now and we've been talking off and on throughout her pregnancy. About a month ago she asked me if I'd be interested in photographing her birth. I was a little nervous because I had never been to another birth let alone photographed one! I am so glad that I took her up on the offer. It was a truly amazing experience.
Kelsie told me around 3 pm on the 28th that she thought her water had broke. They went to the hospital soon after and by 5:30 she was having contractions. I told her family to let me know when she reached 6cm and I'd come to the hospital. Well, that didn't happen until around 7:00 in the morning! Poor Kelsie was in labor for another 12 hours after that before she finally reached 10 cm. With the support of her family, she handled her contractions like a rockstar! After what seemed like forever Aydin finally made his entrance into the world at 7:21 pm on the 29th of January. I was overwhelmed with joy! He is such a beautiful little boy. Kelsie and his father Elisha are very lucky!
Here is a slideshow of his birth!
(make sure to watch in HD!)
PS. The song, picked by Kelsie, is Small Bump is Ed Sheeran.
