Olive Lucille - Baby Centaur!

There is some quiet in my house right now, so I thought I would share with you all the short story that is the birth of Olive Lucille! She was born this morning, Feb. 2nd and 2 AM after only 2 hours of labor and 2 pushes! She was born at home in a warm water tub with the help of the most amazing midwife team I could ask for, Rosehip Midwifery! It all happened so fast, I was just mystified when she was placed in my arms. The older kids were sleeping downstairs, but were wildly excited to meet their new sister once we got settled.

Toma and I, would like to proudly introduce our newest love, Olive.

alright, time for dinner and rest. See you all next week!
