Baby Ruby has finally arrived!! Because consistent sleep and daily routines are now a reality of the past, this update is a bit behind schedule. There are many parts to this story that are worth sharing, but for now we will just share the basics with some pics. We will give a more detailed telling of her arrival in our next email news letter (if you're not on that list, just give us your email and we will add you!). All in all, it was a miraculous experience.
Ruby's first time in clothes a couple hours after she was born. Ends up, she's not a huge fan of clothes at this stage of the game. We'll work on that:)
This is our first picture as a new family. Janny was able to deliver at the birthing center we had SO been hoping to deliver in. There's alot more to that story that we will share in the newsletter, but Janny was absolutely incredible through this. 12 hours of labor, no drugs and barely a whimper. It was a profound time of connection for us as the husband/father is expected to be the most involved support person throughout the labor. No, I never felt a contraction, but we went through them all together...lots of deep breathing and back rubs!
Being two weeks overdue, Ruby was not small baby! She was 8 pounds, 14 ounces and 21 inches long. And, like her father, she has a nice (large!) head.
This is just the beginning...
It was so great to have both of our parents in town when we delivered! They were able to hold Ruby within a couple hours of her arrival. Such a cool experience to have 3 generations represented. Also, it was great to have Char in the birth with Janny and I.
