After 50 hours of labor, baby girl, Alma West, was born! Carolyn was amazing & did everything she needed to do to bring this little girl into the world!
On January 3rd at 6:05 AM, she arrived, weighing 8 lbs even. I could hardly do anything to keep my mind off of her arrival once I learned that Carolyn was in labor. And I hardly slept at all the night before she was born, I was so excited & anxious to meet her! Plus, we didn't know if she was going to be a boy or a girl, so that was pretty exciting too!
Proud Dad!
We got him the shirt he's wearing; it says "#1 Dad"!
So sweet.
I went to the hospital as soon as I could & was able to hold her for at least an hour!
It was great! :)
She was pretty wiped out!
After Kenton got off work, we all went back to the hospital so that everyone could meet Alma.
Super Mom, Carolyn looked great! She's such a good mom already. Confident, comfortable, calm & patient. Nice work, Carolyn! :)
Stu & Jacque were there too! :)
Happy by her mama.
Finley loves babies! He had to be reminded more than a few time to give her some space & to stop touching her face! :P
Happy to meet Alma!
Sweet profile. :)
A little closer.
When I got to hold her, she woke up & gave me lots of sweet expressions to photograph!
Proud Auntie Katrina!
So awake!
More sweet faces.
Kenton had to ask for a turn...I wasn't giving her up for nothing! :P
I sometimes forget that Kenton likes babies too. Things definitely change after having a baby of your own. It's so fun to hold a tiny newborn again. :)
Hello there, sweet girl!
She definitely gave us some nice photo opportunities. :)
We love you so much, Alma West!
The boys were a bit busy, so we were finally able to relax after they got engaged in some phone games. :)
Thanks for letting us invade your room, Carolyn & Jesse! We just love your daughter! :)
