Harris said her birth story “was nothing like we expected, but now looking back it is everything that we wanted it to be.”
“The epidural made me feel AMAZINGGGG but, that’s when things got a little crazy,” wrote Harris, who explained that Leo’s umbilical cord was “wrapped around our little babe twice.” During her contractions, the baby’s heart rate was “plummeting.”
Harris prepared for a C-section, but “just as they were going to take me into the OR, they checked my cervix and I was 10 CENTIMETRES!” she wrote.

Her thoughts on motherhood? Harris says she’s “been humbled big time” and yet, her heart “has never been SO complete.”
