Ember's First Day

Yesterday morning Nate and I got to the hospital around 5:30 in the morning. We got started right away with the IV and meds. My friend Leah met us there around 6. The hospital staff is very accommodating and they allowed Nate and Leah to come into the surgery with me. It was so amazing having the support of them there. Nate stayed with Ember and Leah stayed with me. I am beyond grateful that she was there to be with me and to share the experience. A bonus is that she is an awesome photographer, so I already have some great shots. 


 I really thought we were going to have another boy. I am so glad it is Ember. She has completed our family.
 Leah got to dress like a surgeon for the morning.
 Meeting Ember was incredibly emotional for me. My little girl, our last baby.


The entire day was amazing. We had so many people we love surround us. It was perfect.

    Ally, All of the photos are wonderful! A new addition to your wonderful family is so exciting! The next step in the adventure begins and the love that you and Nate have for each other and for Asher, Piper, and Dexter now extends to Ember and grows and glows even more. Congratulations!
