✨ Welcome to the world, Adam Lynn ✨
This was a VBAC story written in hope, patience, and perfect timing.
For months, Catherine and Patrick envisioned this birth. They planned for a VBAC, held the vision close, and did the work. But the clock was ticking, a scheduled C-section was on the books for Friday because induction wasn’t what they wanted.
Thankfully, Adam was ready. And Catherine’s body was so, so prepared. Her body started making changes over the 4th of July weekend, quiet whispers that it was time.
Patrick, you were so soft and gentle through it all. You kept me informed so I could join you right when you needed me, and you never left her side. You were her anchor through every wave with steady hands, a calm voice, and unwavering love. Watching you support her was a masterclass in partnership.
When I arrived at the hospital, I found Catherine already 5 cm dilated. She was calm, grounded, and strong. The VBAC they had planned for was actually happening.
From there, her body took the lead. In just two hours she went from 5 to 10 cm, like every fiber of her being remembered exactly what to do. When it came time to push, she moved with a strength that took my breath away (and the OBs). You would’ve thought she’d done this a hundred times.
Adam Lynn, you honored your mama’s vision. You came on your terms, through the birth she fought and planned for. Catherine, your body knew. It was ready. And you delivered your son with a grace and power I’ll never forget.
To this incredible family, what a testament to trust, preparation, and not giving up on the birth you wanted. I’m so over the moon for you.
Welcome, sweet boy! Can’t wait to see photos of you with your big brother Evan!
