Disclosure: I went into this whole experience being prepared for anything in my mind. I fully intended to look half decent for photos and I hoped to have a fast and easy delivery. Well, as we all know things don't always work out how we want them to. I had a very rough delivery and don't even remember a lot of the details because I was in so much pain. I was lucky to have my very supportive husband and Mom there who was also my birth photographer. When she text me to tell me the birth story photos were almost edited I asked her how they turned out and she said this... "They turned out, well, real life. You can see a woman who is going through a horrible birth experience, who is frazzled and in pain. You can see a baby that is covered from head to toe in blood. You can see night gowns falling off and bra straps falling down. It's not graceful, but it's real life! It makes me cry when I see my daughter sacrificing herself, her body, and her dignity for her soon to be daughter. It's a real life birth story, it's her birth story, and I love it!" So grateful for my Mom and her support and that she was able to be there with me!
