On January 9th, 2020 Poppy came earth side at 7lbs 2oz at home. Days leading up it had been grey and gloomy but the morning she arrived the sun was shinning in lighting up the walls of Joyce + Alexei’s home. Joyce laboured throughout the night but transitioned quickly. I was only 10 minutes away and almost missed it! Poppy was born not even 30 minutes after my arrival. Her perfect head of black hair. Joyce birthed the placenta and did delayed cord clamping and even got out of the pool and put on her crown I made her for the baby blessing, she looked like a goddess. It was the perfect home birth.
