and was 20 in. longWe are in love with her curly blond hair


Aaron is in love with his new little girl. I hardly changed any diapers in the hospital and unless I was feeding her I had to fight him to hold her. He claims I got to hold her for the last 9 months, it's hardly the same.

Our family of four


I DID IT! I had set a goal for myself to deliver naturally with this baby (I had an epidural with em and don't get me wrong I loved it.) Aaron and I took classes to learn relaxation techniques and how the body works through the delivery process. We learned a lot.

I had been having some serious labor pains for the past several weeks and thought because of this I probably wouldn't realize when it was time for the real thing. I had hair appointments scheduled all day Saturday and was doing my last one (thank heavens it was my mom) when my water broke. She still had foils in her hair and I wasn't sure what to do since I'd never had my water break before. I tried to finish her hair, but Aaron and my mom wouldn't let me. Aaron washed her hair out in the salon sink while I got my stuff ready. I'd been having contractions, but they were the same as any other day. They started coming harder after my water broke so we left Em with my mom and drove to the hospital. We checked in at about 4:15 with my pants soaking wet and my contractions about 5 minutes apart. They quickly started coming a lot faster and at about 5:30 I was ready to call it quits and ask for the epidural when the nurse frantically started calling people and yelling for them to set up. I thought I still had a long way to go, but hearing this made me realize I could do it. It hurt like no other, but so far I think it's been worth it. My recovery has been way easier and I feel really good. We'd love visitors! If you can guarantee I'll only have 2 hours of hard labor I might consider doing it again:)
