AND SHE IS HERE

So now for some photos of our little girl who came on June 20th ( Estimated Due Date was June 17th so not bad)
Early (felt like nothing) labor started on Sunday morning and faded away like it had the previous two days. So I wasn't getting my hopes up yet that she was coming. Around 6pm Sunday evening things became a little more intense but still I wasn't holding my breath that this was it so we went walking to see if that would help keep the action going.  We got back from our walk and I went to lay down and sure enough things were going. Steven text the midwife about an hour later to let her know what was up and about an hour after that we were packed up and headed to the hospital. We arrived around 2AM and Allana Rose was born at 9:32 Monday morning. Steven was a patient coach, just what I needed in labor He was the best support I could have asked for. We did this together as a team with no meds and no medical interventions needed. I couldn't imagine doing it any other way. I'm thankful for the time Steven and I took preparing for the big day. Allana was born alert and looking around. We were so thrilled to finally meet this little girl who had been a literal pain in mommy's side for the past few months ;-)
And now for a few pictures
