I am so excited to blog about this birth! Twin home births are fairly rare in Minnesota, so even though I was really wishing I could attend and document one, I wasn’t holding my breath. So you can imagine how I felt when this couple invited me to join their fairly large team at the birth of their twins.

I got the call on a cold December evening. When I arrived, mama was doing great in the tub. Baby Hazel was born at 2:12am weighing 7lbs 4oz followed shortly by her brother Harland at 2:18am weighing 7lbs 8oz. Everyone was healthy and happy. Kudos to the awesome birth team headed by midwife Victoria Edwards and included midwives Jennifer Freeman Hall, Aly Folin and Kate Saumweber Hogan and doula Gabrielle Hurd.
