Mother's Day

7 KIDS!

All the kids are finally together. We attempted to do the foot picture. It turned out okay. Maybe later we can try it again and I can really get the vision of what I was trying to accomplish.  Thank you to Leah Davis for the beautiful picture of my kids. This was taken about three or five days after she was born and I was not up for taking pictures.

The boys were immediately smitten with her and loved all her little Coos and happy faces. And they still adore her to this day.

Pregnancy and Birth

The first pictures are at 37 weeks.  

38 and 40 weeks.  Or something like that.  I like my maternity shots.  I usually don't like them very much so I didn't do a photo sesh.  But this was good enough.  You get the idea.  yes  yes you were very large with child.  

I love these bathtub images that Shannon Williams did for me.  She is amazing.  I will always cherish these images.  Thankyou so much

The birth went amazingly well and quick. I gave lots of details in my personal journal and won't worry about reiterating it. I had lots of support but mainly I really depended on myself and I did hypno birthing which was immensely helpful. I was able to relax and she came pretty quickly. We pretty much instantly fell in love with her as soon as she was with us. She is an amazing addition to our family. We feel incredibly grateful.
