Adalay Marie was born early Sunday at 1:04 a.m., and weighed in at 6pd 11oz with a height of 18 3/4 in. I was so thankful to hold her after the three days of labor (Dustin says it wasn't "real" labor, but it was real enough for me) she put me through. Our experience with the Nativiti Birth Center was awesome and I definitely recommend it to anyone interested (oh, and water births totally rock)! If anyone wants to hear more details, I can talk your ear off about it. For everyone else I will move straight to the pictures...
Hear she is at about 5 seconds old...
I felt one of the best things about the center was the time we had right after her birth to just enjoy her. She was not whisked off to be poked, prodded, measured and weighed. Instead we had plenty of time to feed her, show her off, talk to her, and generally just fall in love with her. It was a very relaxed, pleasant, and sweet time.
My midwife, Katherine, was awesome. She was so calm and encouraging...
Gavin was very excited to meet his new little sister...
He even asked to hold her...
Daddy full of smit...
Here are some images from her second day of life outside the womb...
I know, I know, she is just perfect, beautiful, and amazing you don't even need to tell me (but you can leave a happy comment for us anyway)!
