This is a story of love, courage, and service. Birth and newborn photos by Christy Pellicer, of Doulananda and Bliss Photography.
Mama writes, “Here is one of my all-time favorite pictures ever: me right after my hard-earned VBA2C, holding our precious baby boy. It was an unmedicated birth at a Naval hospital – my poor husband (active duty Navy) was on the phone, floating out in the Persian Gulf somewhere, the entire time I was pushing.
My doula said I pushed for almost three hours – I can’t remember – it’s all a blur!
I am so thankful he was able to listen in on the phone as I delivered our 9 lb, 2 oz baby.
My doula took this photo from my phone so I could email it to my husband…
After the birth, six more long weeks went by before he was finally able to hold our beautiful baby boy in his arms.”

As a fellow Navy wife, and a mama hopeful for my own VBA2C in just a few weeks, this has me very choked up! A million congratulations, Mama!
