Redefining Normal: Baby Eleanor Grey...

Baby Eleanor Grey...

Is here!

Born at home at 9:27am, with no complications and a full head of long, dark hair. My first baby was just over 5 lbs, but the last three have all been 7 1/2 lbs on the nose, despite varying degrees of early arrivals. I guess that's how much my 5' frame can handle, and then they just make their way out! She is sleeping peacefully on me right now and it never gets less amazing to look at your day-old baby and realize just last night she was inside of you.

We are so thankful for God's provision and protection- we do not take these things for granted. More on the birth after I've had more sleep.
