We proudly welcome...

Larren Faith to our family! She was born on February 13th at 6:58 am. She weighed in at 8 lbs. 14 oz. and was 21 1/2" in length!

What an absolute blessing she has been! Yes, things are WAY crazier than I ever thought them to be with two kids... but oh so good! (The pure chaos has been the reason pictures, and even basic information, has been lacking on this beautiful girl!)

The last picture taken 2 nights before labor... I walked by the mirror and thought, "Really? I'm that huge? I gotta get a picture!"


We had another water birth, and again... I would never do otherwise!




We were so thankful to have the same midwife we had with Alia! Marla is just such a wonderful lady to work with!



The official weigh in


Getting all checked over


One very tired Momma... between labor, the busyness of a newborn, and visitors all day we managed to get about 1 1/2 hours of sleep in a 24 hour day.

One of our first family pictures


Jonathan is, once again, such a great father. My oh my, I'm beyond blessed to be married to this man!


Alia seeing Larren for the first time


The girls exchanging the gifts they "got" for eachother


The only decent family pic we got... just overlook Alia picking her nose perhaps!!!


Alia was SUPER hyper when she came to the hospital. Between all the spoiling she got over the weekend, the many many people in the hospital room, seeing Mommy and Daddy after not seeing them for a bit, and a new babe - it was just her way of coping I guess!


We had lots of visitors to give her a loving welcome







Larren never made a peep when we put her in her carseat... hopefully she's that content in the days to come!


Alia and Larren seeing eachother at home for the first time



Visiting together the next morning


Sisterly love




Our first post natal visit with Marla



Marla is so good with Alia... giving her little jobs to do, and making her feel like she's one of the patients!


Jon walked in carrying both girls and I couldn't help but get a few pictures. Notice Alia's face? This is HER daddy and she's having a little bit of a hard time sharing!


My three loves
