Best Birth Moments of 2017 -by Cradled Creations

What a crazy incredible year this has been. It started off in January (while I was vacationing in Hawaii) when I got a call that I won "Best Birth Image of the Year" from International Association of Professional Birth Photographers. ​This was a huge honour and I interviewed with People Magazine and The Today Show while sitting beachside. 

Ah. Ma. Zing. Then, it got even better when I welcomed my 3rd baby in March at another peaceful and love-filled homebirth. My older daughter rocked my world with her love and affection for me throughout my own labour and postpartum (you can see some of my own personal faves from my birth at the bottom of my post.) The rest of my year was slow as I chose to take some time off and spend life enjoying motherhood. Here are my favourite birth moments of 2017: 

And here are my FAVOURITE images of the year... from my own birth. These were taken by the talented documentary photographer:  Kyla Ewert (located in Abbotsford, BC) 

When I checked her sex and realized I had another daughter.

And this precious moment of my daughter mesmerized with "WHERE" the baby came from.

I normally create a year end video, but have been busy mothering this year, so I will  leave you with my highlight film from last year... THIS IS WORTH A WATCH... 
​Happy New Year!
