Here is one of my favorite photos from an alternative maternity photography shoot in Columbia, MO… love this expression!
It’s impossible for me to witness the birth of a baby without crying. Impossible. So through blurred vision, thank you for your beautiful story. It’s 42 years since the birth of our first child and now I look back with wonder on the arrival of our 3 children and seven grandchildren. Lucky you – it’s all ahead of you. Congratulations to you both on the arrival of your beautiful boy.
Congratulations Katie. It looks, sounds, and feels like a pretty special day.
Congratulations to you both! You are going to be incredible mother and I admire you for having the bravery to share such an intimate and touching day with all of us.

Thanks for sharing jack’s birth story! so amazing- and girl, you are lucky to have had a quick labor with your first babe! i love that his hospital ankle tag reads “barnes boy”!
A beautiful birth story, and so well documented (like I expected anything less). I loved the detail of you being on all fours in the elevator and the nurse looking at you and springing into action as the doors opened. My story was so similar, it made me smile to read :)
Katie, this is such a beautiful story documented! You and Max are going to be awesome parents. I’m so happy for you!!!!!!
Best wishes to all of you. A beautiful baby. Congratulations.
Just wow! Congratulations to you all.
Magical! He is so beautiful and you and Max did a wonderful job of bringing him into the world. He is a lucky little boy to have you two. Love “Aunt Martha”
In love. Can’t wait to get there. Beautiful photos as usual.
Wow! great descriptions and photos of the whole adventure. I almost feel like we were there. And–it sounds like you were having a great time. Isn’t it amazing to meet a person you are going to know and love for the rest of your life, squeezing out between your legs? XXX to all of you. Hili
Katie and Max, I love how much hair he has! Such a nice story Katie, had me laughing (Hoover Dam) and nearly in tears for you guys (and I’m a man! Men don’t cry). As much as I miss you guys being here in New Hampshire, seeing photos of your parents must be reassurance on your decision to move closer to family. Much love to you guys and hopefully I’ll be able to meet that little dude someday soon.

So awesome! Congratulations you two!
Katie & Max, my wife Karla and I are so happy for you! What a touching (and funny!) story, plus we’re so happy that you are closer to family in Columbia. We sincerely look forward to seeing you guys sometime soon (never far from St. Louis) and meeting your little boy.
Thanks for sharing!
