About a month ago I put out a casting call for local soon to be mommies. Rachel was suggested to me and she was due super soon. I pitched her my idea and she wanted to do it. Which made me ecstatic. Super excited and nervous since I have never been in the same room as a person having a baby.
Rachel text me at 9:45 Sunday night the 29th saying her water broke. I immediately grabbed some snacks, water and gathered up my things to head to the hospital in Fayetteville, NC. As I got there she was having contractions and they were close to putting in an epidural. Soon after the epidural Rachel was feeling .. well she wasn’t feeling much which is great. Her labor progressed quite quicker than I had anticipated which isnt a bad thing at all.

Rachel & David, Thank you so much for allowing me to share all of those special moments with you and your family.
Thank you for the slide show. I am Laila Rose’s other gramma and I didn’t get to be there for her birth. The pictures helped me see how the labor went and some beautiful pictures right after her birth. This was something special and you did a very fine job.
