So can I tell you something? I had a top ten day this week. You know, one of those days in your life that is right up there with the other best days of your life? Yep. That's what it was.
Our beautiful baby "C"made her arrival at 3:17pm. Weighing 8lbs 4oz and at 20.5 inches long...she is absolutely breathtaking.
I couldn't believe it a few months ago when my brother, Keith, and his wife, Mattie, asked me to photograph the birth of their first child.
I think I danced in my living room a little bit.
Right in front of them.
And y'all, I don't dance.
I'm certain I cried.
Never in a million years would I have ever asked or expected them to allow me this privilege. I worked in labor and delivery for several years before our babies were born. I'm comfortable there, have seen it all. But giving birth, especially to your first child, is a sacred event. It just is. Everything is new and uncertain. How you will react to the pain and what you will be like during labor is a great unknown for first time mamas. But she was a rock star! And before we knew it, sweet baby "C" was here!
