She's HERE!

Norah was born Sunday July 4th at 7 am.

7 pounds 2 oz
21 inches
We are SO in love with this baby girl!


We had a rough go for a few days. I had some major hemorrhaging after Norah was born and had to receive 4 units of blood the next two days. It was pretty scary for all of us, especially for Ben, but he was amazing and immediately stepped up to the role of super dad. The doctors were two steps away from performing a hysterectomy when thankfully the blood slowed down and I began feeling a lot better. We are so thankful to be home now with a happy and healthy baby. She is such a great baby and we are falling more and more in love with her every minute. Thanks for all your love and support!
