Our first little baby was born over the weekend and its been an absolute whirlwind of learning how to work around our new sleep schedule and our hearts growing in ways we could have never imagined. Callum James (we call him Cal!) came into the world at 12:44am on August 27th at whopping 6.3 pounds. When he was put into my arms for the first time I was struck by how little and fragile he was. I just wanted to hold him close and feel his little breaths against my chest. We decided early on that we wanted to keep his sex a surprise until I gave birth and I’m SO glad that we did! The anticipation and excitement we had leading up until his delivery was crazy fun and so precious.

I can’t explain the joy of taking care of this little guy and being home just the three of us to bond. We have such an amazing community of people surrounding us that has made this season extra sweet. We’ve had countless thoughtful gifts, kind words, encouragement, visits, meals prepared and prayers said.

We deeply appreciate everyone who loves our little family so well!

P.S-A HUGE thank you to our dear friend Marie Taylor (from Adele Portrait Photography) who photographed our birth and stayed with us after and was so helpful. She’s so incredibly talented and we’re so happy to have had her there with us. We can’t explain how much we love you lady! The later images in color are from my own little mini session after I was able to get up and walk around. I couldn’t resist bringing my camera of course! 😉

He started crying and this was my reaction! hahaha
