Dear Ezra, I think I need to continue to write you a book. With your gender reveal, in momma’s tummy session and now your birth. We are just going to continue this little conversation and I can’t wait till someday you can read it. So little Ezra, here goes the story. Your momma texted me Sunday morning at 7:42am that she was having contractions. She mentioned they were 10 minutes apart, so me not knowing what the heck that meant, I jumped out of bed and pretty much cleaned my whole house and packed in a matter of 35 minutes waiting till your mom got back to me. Well, soon did I learn that it was just a little alert to tell me things were moving. So I rested and about 4pm I called your mom and asked if I could come up. She agreed and I ventured on up to your house. This is where I am going to let the images take over the story telling..
But first, just a couple of mini notes in case your mom forgets to tell you how awesome she is. Your momma Leah, was absolutely the most graceful superwoman during your arrival. She worked through every contraction with complete grace and silence, just breathing through. Even almost 5 minutes before you came your momma was smiling and just ready. I couldn’t believe how amazing she was doing as she was totally medication free. Seriously, E. When you get old enough give your momma a fist pump or a big high five, because in a matter of 4 minutes after her water breaking your momma brought you into this world. It was an AMAZING experience to be a part of. I hope some day you can look back at these photographs when you have your own little ones and see the love and just pure joy that was in that room after your first cry.
Alright already, enough of hearing me babble.. take a deep breath and experience these images.
