we had a baby!

this blog just took a turn for the better!

we welcomed our daughter, 

rory jane hunt on august 2nd

at 9:38 in the morning.

she came 3+1/2 weeks early.

we were at a phish concert and my water broke.

my ob is away one week a year & that was the week.

i was able to stick to my birthing plan

of welcoming our child sans medication

& without medical intervention.

laboring and delivering is such an

intense experience.

jim was the most amazing partner.

i couldn't have done it without his empathy,

support, love and strength.

when i gave the final push & we found out

it was a girl, this calmness washed over me.

our daughter, for who we dreamt, wished &

prayed so damn hard for was finally here.

and to top it off, she was absolutely perfect

weighing in at 5lbs+11oz.
