Ottawa hospital birth photos with the Ottawa Valley Midwives
2019 will forever be marked in my memory as the year of babies!! Of course, it was the year I became a mother myself (to our beautiful daughter, Penny!), but it was also the year that so many of my friends began their own journeys towards parenthood, including my dear friend Brittney and her husband Evan!
Britt and I first started talking about birth photography over lunch one day after hours (literally!) of exchanging pregnancy stories and gushing over the excitement of childbirth. We also learned that not only had we both chosen the Ottawa Valley Midwives as our primary care providers, we actually had the same primary midwife (heyyy, Pascale!!) and would both deliver at the Queensway Carleton Hospital! Weirder still, when the time came for Britt to give birth, it was actually the same exact room where I’d delivered Penny 7 months earlier! The birth junkie in me was on a high from the minute I arrived at the QCH, and I’ll never forget the power of that experience and Britt’s strength as she birthed her baby into this world!! The support from her husband and her sister still makes me weepy (CUE ALL THE TEARS!!!!) and it was incredible to witness the expertise and guidance from the midwives as they helped catch baby Eddie and deliver him safely in the hospital.
It’s my absolute delight to be sharing these Ottawa birth photos with you today, with permission from Brittney and Evan. It was such an honour to be present with them that morning and I am officially hooked on birth!
Congratulations to the Finch family and welcome to the world, baby Eddie!!!
