Sweet baby.


The moment a child is born,
the mother is also born.
She never existed before.

The woman existed, but the mother, never.
a mother is something absolutely new.
~Rajneeshe









She's here! We're so thrilled to welcome our sweet baby love into this world.
She arrived on September 16, 2014.  With the amazing support of my husband and doula, I was able to accomplish my natural birth goals. I'm so thankful for the experience and I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity. 

Lately, we have enjoyed our days embracing our new bundle of joy. Her big sister has been such a great little helper. She enjoys kissing, holding, and cuddling with her baby sister. - Sometimes I just sit and watch her stare at her little sister. - It's such a beautiful moment. 

So we're all enjoying, embracing, and absolutely loving these moments spent together. 
Right now we're all still adjusting to a new schedule. - Between nursing, diapers, reading, cooking, and everything that comes along with parenting, we are very busy. 

I hope you're all doing well. I'll be back to posting and reading blogs soon.  :)
