In a lot of ways this moment wasn’t mine. My incredible wife Susanna had spent the last nine months dedicating her life to the new person growing inside her. She was utterly focussed on her pregnancy and on making the birthing experience as positive as it could possibly be. She had decided that she wanted a home birth and with meticulous planning and a bit of good luck we were able to have one. I stood back in awe, a little tiny voice in the back of my head reminding me how little I could control. It was really all I could do to remember to breathe, to stay calm and to witness one of the most powerful and memorable moments that life can give.
