On May 28, 2012, I received a text around 10:30 in the evening;  I was just getting settled in for the night.  Jennifer was letting me know that she had been having contractions for a little while and that we were probably going to be welcoming her bundle soon.  We both tried to get some shuteye but about an hour later Cooper gave me a call letting me know that they had already gone over to The Birthing Inn 
I jumped out of bed, grabbed my gear, and headed for my Jeep....drove across town, doing my best to obey the speed laws :)

I arrived with plenty of time to capture a beautiful, strong laboring mom.

Jennifer was doing amazing during her natural birth and after being examined, determined that she would go ahead and have her bag of waters broken.  Labor sped up quite a bit after having this procedure and soon she opted to move into the tub for some comfort.
