Birth Pictures

I wish I could have afforded a birth photographer, but my midwife took some beautiful pictures when she wasn’t busy with me and Samuel.

I love this one of everyone

The relief of him being out and being ok

Holding him was so amazing!

I love Kate’s face in this one!

When they weighed him and I saw everyone’s jaws drop and their eyes get huge I was really surprised. I hadn’t thought he was that big at all. I never imagined I would birth a 10 lb baby!

It fluctuated between 9.15 and 10 lbs, so we just called it at 10 lbs

Terah caught this smile doing lighting checks and decided to use it for the announcement she made up.

Amazingly cute baby feet
