Emelia Deitra is here!

She has arrived!  After a super long, tiring labor, and a fierce rain storm, Emelia was born to us on Tuesday September 18th.  It was truly an incredible experience for all three of us!  We had an incredible midwife and specially chosen nurses with us at delivery--their support and love made what felt impossible possible!

Enjoy some of the moments of Emelia's first days 'on this side'!

Photo Shoot

My dear dear childhood friend Ellie Spaulding graciously agreed to play around and do a maternity photo shoot with me.  So this darling lady came out to to our farm one August day to take some shots with Nate's handiwork in the background.  I am quite pleased with how they came out!  

THANK YOU ELLIE!!!

Barefoot and pregnant

Little kicks & rolls

So remember when I said my belly button was flat.....it's becoming more convex as the weeks progress

Kaleb decided he need to be a part of all the fun
