Harper's Grand Entrance

After a long awaited 9 months Harper Abigail is finally here ( 7#15 ounces and 19 inches long).. It seems like the months went slowly and the days leading up to my C-Section flew by. I was so excited to meet this little princess and so nervous at the same time for surgery again.. My good friend Michelle Anderson of Mango Mahalo Photography agreed to do birth pictures for me. After clearing it with my OB, Anesthesia, and the Nursing Manager of L&D everyone agreed it was ok for her to go into the OR and do them!! I was so nervous that Harper would come before the "planned" day and I would miss out on these pics. When Michelle gave me the pics and slideshow yesterday I never knew I could get so emotional. I missed out on seeing the birth of both of my sweet girls because of having to have C-Sections. I am pretty sure that is the hardest I have cried in a while and didn't dare look at Travis or Michelle after the slideshow because I am pretty sure I would have cried even harder.. They were tears of pure joy and love for this little girl we brought into the world. There are no words to describe how extremely thankful I am for these pictures. They are priceless to me. It was even more special that Michelle got to share in this time together with us. I may even saw a tear or two from her :) It was so hard to choose between the 200+ pics but here are a few of my favorite!
