A Home For Nine Months – Life Through A Lens

A home for 9 months

I was lucky enough to be a birthing photographer and birthing partner for the arrival of my baby brother this week. As a part of his birth, my mum and I had asked the midwives if Jude could remain attached to his placenta for a while to enable all of the nutrients and goodness of it to fully transfer to him before being clamped and cut. This gave us an opportunity to have a good look at the home that Jude had grown in for 9 months. It really was incredible.

It looked like a tree with roots or branches.

When the amniotic sac came out it was inside out. Jude had grown inside of it complete with his cord and amniotic fluid that he would have floated in.

When Jude was born we discovered that there was a knot in his umbilical cord. The midwife pointed out that his cord had grown extra fatty to enable the knot to slide up and down the chord.

It was a crazy thought to think that he must have been doing loop the loops inside the womb to cause a knot.

You can take a peek at Judes Birth Story too.

    How beautiful Eden-Mei, you did an excellent job of documenting Jude’s arrival whilst also keeping your Mum company and making her laugh. I can see from her posts that she is mightily proud of you. I can see you having a brilliant future in photography and blogging (of course). Well done x

    Well done Eden Mei, and thank you for the great pictures. As you obviously already know, photos do not need to be conventionally pretty to be interesting, informative, beautiful or important. I have two kids and had not seen a placenta in such detail. I also didn’t know how large it was. Great photos! Xx

🦇 The man did good!👏 Yesterday Andy finished 🦇 The man did good!👏
Yesterday Andy finished everything needed to make the bats comfortable. 
We have oodles of bats flying around the churchyard but after a few seasons of bat surveys it was established we don’t actually have bats with if the church 👌 this is pleasing for us as it means that we get the enjoyment of watch them on a summers evening with the knowledge that there are none in residence. 
Although it was established we don’t have resident bats, roosts or nurseries we still had to do what we could to accomplish them should they wish to take up residence in the church. 
As part of this process we have...
🦇Turned a dilapidated underground furnace room into a bat cave with entrance points, wall hangers and crevices.
🦇 Built a substantial ‘Battic’ in the ceiling in the vestry...a false ceiling was installed for this.
🦇 The children moulded and helped install bat tiles for the roof using a mallet and sheet lead method. 
🦇 Raised the ridge tiles on the vestry roof as entrance points to the ‘Battic’. 

For a building that doesn’t have any resident bats they sure will be comfy should they move in. 

🦇 Bats are a protected species and obtaining bat licenses to permit you to build without endangering them, destroying or disturbing existing or potential habitat in the U.K. is an extremely important (and lengthily) process.
