Duke's Birth Story

I can't remember if I had mentioned or not that I had Ashleigh, with Harlow Moon Photography join in on Duke's birth to take his birth story!

I'm so happy she was able to spend that special day with us.

Her cute pregnant self was there for hours and hours, so I'm very thankful for her!

I was on the fence for a good few months about getting a birth story done.

I wanted the moments of Lia meeting Duke for the first time, so that's what made me get it done.

I AM SO HAPPY I DID!

They turned out so great! You've seen glimpses of them in my previous posts, but going through all of them, wow, talk about getting choked up.

It brought back all the emotions I was feeling on his birth day and I think they are so special.

see for yourself...

Playing the waiting game, waiting for my doctor!

Kept getting in trouble by the nurses because I couldn't stand
lying down and my monitors were going crazy.

Keeping me modest, just about to go into surgery!
