To our great surprise, we had a girl on June 24th at 8:28p.m! Now we have to figure out what to do with one! LOL! With two boys already we have the dirt finding, tool using, sword wielding, potty joke telling, tree climbing down, but a girl is a whole new ball game!
Meet our wonderful daughter Anwyn Renee. We love her so and wouldn't have it any other way. We have a true blessing in our hands.
We had an amazing birthing experience, one my husband is still processing. I have to say he really held me up through this whole process, literally! My labor in all lasted 8 hours, not bad for not having a natural labor before, I think, with 1 1/2 hours of pushing. There were only two positions that really offered great comfort and relief from the pressure of labor. 1. was my husband holding me and swaying with me. Thinking back down it was like a slow dance and it truly deepened my love for him on so many levels. 2. was his vice like counter pressure on my low back and hip area. It was sweet heaven when he applied his Hulk like strength to my low back while I had a surge(contraction).

What also made my labor truly amazing and everything I had hoped was I had the most amazing team of midwives I could have ever asked for! They will always hold a very special place in my heart for being the people they are and for helping me believe that I could have a natural labor and delivery. Kelly, Katie, and Molly were my dream team!

I told Kelly from the beginning that because I'm so bossy I need someone who will boss me right back, well she filled those shoes well and bossed me right into active labor! I told you I liked to be bossed!

The beautiful professional pictures in this post were taken by the very talented and spunky Lindsay Mountain Kelly of Feather Blue Photography. I have to say the biggest thank you to her for capturing my sweet Anwyn within that first 10 days of life. These photos are something I will always treasure. So if you're in the Boise area and need amazing photos, call this lady! In fact we will be getting Anwyn's 3 month pictures taken this weekend! Can't wait to post those!
The boys are truly in love with this little sweet heart of ours.
See how she grows!
