Journey into the world

We had quite a different birthing experience this time around. Instead of a smooth natural home birth, we were introduced to the emergency procedures of trying to give birth on Haida Gwaii. As the baby indicated that he wasn't happy during the contractions, I had to be flown in a huge Sikorsky helicopter to Prince Rupert Hospital:

Probably not the birth experience you had hoped for, but he is beautiful and here! Praise God for that! Hope you are doing well!
Enjoy them!
