Hello...I'm New Here: Dean Everett Cebula's Birth Story... red bluff, ca. birth photographer

For those of you that didn't see Dean's sneak peek blog post you can see the full story here. 

Katie is my best friend of 10 years. When she asked me to document the birth of her 2nd child I was elated and quickly made plans to attend the birth. 

Katie had been scheduled for a C-section and went into the hospital about 6 a.m. that morning. The doctors got her settled in and hooked to the monitors. The day prior to her arrival she had been having on and off contractions. I have to admit I was a bit nerves. I thought, for a second, we might be running her to the hospital in the middle of the night if they continued. She assured me it was nothing to worry about and was actually pretty happy about them, since she hadn't felt a contraction before and always wondered what they felt like. Her first baby was an emergency C-section so she was not able to deliver naturally like we all had hoped. 

Once she was all settled, the nurse did confirm that she was having contractions, but they weren't cause for concern. They told us, once the doctor arrived, they would get her going and headed in to have her baby. 

12 hours later, lol, they finally took her into the OR and little baby Dean made his debut. We all couldn't wait to get a glimpse of him. A few minutes later Dean was brought into the nursery accompanied by his daddy, Ryan, and a while later he was reunited with his mommy. Even though the wait was a long one for mom and dad, it was defiantly worth it once little Dean was safe in their arms. 

Katie and Ryan...he is perfect in every way!!! You are amazing friends and parents. I love being there to document every special moment in your lives. I can't wait for the next one...I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a little girl this time ;)~.  I hope you love these moments captured just as much as I do! 

XOXO, 

Jen
