It all began one sunny monday morning. I was 38 weeks pregnant, and having woken up with mild contractions, I decided that it might be time after all to pack that hospital bag.......
We made our way into Tacoma and settled in at Grandma's house to see where things might progress. After having contractions five to ten minutes apart that whole day, we finally were able to check in to the birth center at 6am on Tuesday, February 27th. That night, Ivria Mae Pyette was born in the water, delivered by her Dad.
Ivria was a perfect 7lbs2oz, and 20 inches long.Mom and Dad could not be happier to welcome our precious new little girl into the world! She was delivered at The Birthing Inn, attended by Joan Fischer, CNM, of the Pearl Place Midwives.
From my perspective, I could not have asked for a better birth experience. I was able to enjoy the whole process with Jim there to support me. Our natural labor and delivery was a dream come true for us. We spent a fair amount of time in preparation for this event, but nothing could have prepared us for the awesome responsibility of bringing a new baby into our lives. Life changes when you bring a child into the family, but we have experienced the joy and can wholeheartedly say that it changes for the best. Darling Ivria.........Welcome to our world!
Our first family picture!
