Last year, I met Jaci when my daughter was raising funds and making loom bracelets for her up coming trip to Africa. She lives down the road from me, and our paths have crossed a few times since then. When Jaci showed up eight months pregnant at one of my recent garage sales (we’ve been selling everything we own since last September to fit our family of seven on a converted GM bus), we started talking about her pregnancy and home births and midwifery in the UT legislation. I home birthed my last 2/5 babies and Jaci will be doing the same. We excitedly agreed that I would capture her upcoming home birth, since this would be her last and she only regrets from the last ones, not having a photographer.
Jaci’s baby is due to arrive in 3 short weeks on April 27th. Although, only 5% of babies arrive on their given due date… we’re still marking the date.
This beautiful mama and her family are saving the surprise of the baby’s gender until he/she arrives in their arms. Will they have 1 boy and 4 girls, or 2 boys and 3 girls? Stay tuned to find out!
