Welcome to the world June Katherine!

The day was finally here, and I'm not going to lie I was soooo ready to not be pregnant anymore! This pregnancy was the most difficult thing I've ever gone through. I knew what a blessing would come of it, but there where days I didn't know how I was going to do it, but I did and now I have the sweetest baby girl in my arms and the difficulties of my pregnancy are already a blur.

Our last picture before we headed to the hospital. We were up super early to check in at 7am to get my induction started!

A little labor selfie!

They started my induction a little after 9am, and I immediately started to contract about every 3 minutes. About 1pm I got my epidural and had a little bit of a blood pressure scare, but they were able to get me stable again. At 6:30pm they broke my water and at 9:30 after only about 10 minutes of pushing sweet June was in my arms!

THIS MOMENT! I feel like there are a 1000 emotions captured in this picture! I just love this picture so much, and I tear up every time I look at it! The relief in my face of knowing that it's all over and yet it's all beginning. The way my hand is gently holding her head. How her skin is still a little blue, but starting to turn pink as she cries. While I know I am all done having babies knowing that I will never experience this moment again pains my heart.  

She was just the most perfect little baby so alert and so calm I immediately fell in love with her

She is only an hour old here and just look at that little face!

Proud Daddy!


This was in the middle of the night (Daddy was snoozing on the couch next to me) and I couldn't stop starring at her and taking her picture




I love how giant her hands look in this pic!

The next morning Ford finally got to meet his baby sister! He was so excited and told me he just wanted to hold her forever!



And just like that we're a family of 4! My whole world in one picture! I've dreamed of being a mom my whole life, and I don't think I could have dreamed it this good!

This Man! Dr Scarborough was with me through it all and treated me like I was is daughter. He came in to deliver me even though he wasn't on call. I can remember right before I was getting ready to push and throwing up, he said you can do this and hopefully this will be the last time you'll have to throw up from this!!! He was also quite impressed with how fast I pushed her out! I will be forever grateful for his kindness and support!


Aunt Anna was such a huge help through all of this. She and Adam took care of Ford for us, and brought him up to meet baby June!

So sweet!

Halloween!

Nothing like be one week away from having your baby and having to dress up for Halloween! The Guthrie's threw a party so we all dressed as Ninja Turtles! We pinned a little stuffed Ninja Turtle to my belly to round out all for turtles. Ford absolutely loves Halloween and talks about it all year plotting and planning his costume. 


Big Mama!!




Ford and Scarlett watching the outdoor movie! These two are such sweet friends!

Cuteness overload!

Celebrating Baby June

My sweet friends Caroline, Meghan and Courtney threw me a baby shower! It was such a special day and made it feel so real that my baby girl will be here soon! 36 weeks pregnant!

My friend from growing up Krista, who lives in the East Bay, was able to make the shower and it was so fun to have my friend of over 20 years there!


The sweet hosts!

Fall Fun!

We love when fall comes around mostly because we love going to pumpkin patches! We scout out the best ones and usually hit them up several times! Daddy got to join us for this one and lucky for me because I don't think a big pregnant lady should be sliding down a tube slide!



One of our favorite girls Scarlett has a fall birthday and we had a blast celebrating her!





We met the Guthrie's for another pumpkin patch adventure!






Our favorite pumpkin patch this year was the Pronzini Pumkin Patch I think we went 5 times!


I told Ford to give the horse a kiss and he got a little more than he bargained for!





Caroline and I took Ford and Scarlett to a Halloween play put on by some local Sonoma kids. You can see my big belly in the background!



And ice cream for Alice in Wonderland and Leonardo!
