In the still of the night…It was time. Mama worked hard in her birthing tub. The water was warm and ready for baby. She persevered with strength through each wave of contractions. Then the moment we all waited for…

Christmas came early for the Cordova family this year! When I arrived at their home, I knew by the call that delivery was close. What I didn’t know is that she’d be delivering the baby as I walked in!

These fleeting moments are there and gone quickly… Because of this, I need to be prepared for anything! Sometimes the lighting is too dark or too bright in a birth space. Sometimes a shutter on a camera gets stuck or breaks. Sometimes a memory card reads “error” randomly. Sometimes a computer crashes. These are reasons why I have invested in double the equipment.
