Otto's Birth Story

Heidi drives herself to the hospital. I love it! 😂

After having two babies of my own I can't watch a birth video without crying!! 😭💗 Birth is SO special!! Praise the Lord and thank you guys for sharing!! 💗

So precious, and Heidi you looked absolutely beautiful through the whole process! Congratulations!

The beauty of labor and being laid on mama's chest is the most precious thing ever!! It is the best feeling in the world especially after all the pain!! 🥰

I've been watching a ton of your videos while on maternity leave with my 3-week-old, and they've been giving me a great laugh when all I want to do is cry. We're working through some breastfeeding issues and near-constant fussiness, but this video helped bring me back to that feeling of pure innocence when you meet your new baby for the first time. I know I'm late to the party, but congratulations on this little bundle and thank you for your honest yet entertaining glimpse into parenthood.

I’m crying. Takes me back. Thank you for allowing us a peek into something so personal ❤️

Beautiful work, Heidi! Also, that pic of dad proudly smiling with Otto had me tearing up a bit. 💕

Now that you have comments back- CONGRATS ON THE NEW BABY!! Love your videos!

Awesome! He came quickly. Similar to my second pregnancy. I was induced, and in about 4 hours BAM we had a baby boy! Otto has a lot of hair! He's adorable.

Watching this at 32 weeks I'm so impressed that she did her hair. My arms go numb from brushing my teeth 😳😳😳

Thank you both so much for sharing this. I'm only 22 weeks, but I'm crying watching this and feeling so excited to meet my daughter.

I am a midwife and I just loved your birth story. I went out with my husband in his 1971 International Harvester Scout to induce labor. It didn't work, but nevermind that. When you said, it's a 1992. What could go wrong? Lost it! But as I watched you work through the early mundane parts of a "planned" induction, I could just almost guess where it was going. When she said, "I feel pressure everywhere," I was hoping her provider would make it in time, as I have sped for so many fast babies in my career. I was so proud of/for her! Watching women give birth without meds so beautifully when that wasn't the plan... amazing. She is one strong mama for sure. It's been a couple weeks since I caught my most recent babe, but this video made me miss it. Congrats, Heidi. You rocked that birth! So happy and proud for you!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the love and respect you have for your wife!

I literally cried haha 😂 congrats! Heidi is warrior!

Legit cried seeing Otto with Mommy for the first time. Congratulations!!!

I watched this before two years ago, and just watched again. It still brings tears to my eyes. Thanks so much for sharing, Heidi and Taylor. Y'all are amazing - and so's your nurse! 💖💖💖

Just cried like a baby ♡ this was so wonderful and beautiful!

That brought tears to my eyes. So beautiful. ❤️Congrats to you both.

That was so beautiful! Thank you for sharing your story, I cried! He is so precious!

I had a natural birth with twins. This video brought tears to my eyes because of the pain and exhaustion in Heidi's eyes but the sweetness of snuggling the baby. It's amazing how the baby heals the Mom and the Mom heals the baby!!!
