Welcome Baby
by Catherine
Jennifer & Russ welcomed a baby girl last night after almost 18 hours! She was born at home in the water attended by Debi & Nichole. When I left very early this morning, mom, dad and baby had settled in and she was sleeping in mom's arms. I have a lot of pictures to go through but I wanted to introduce you to her...

Here are a few more pictures to hold you over till her birth story slideshow in a few days....

She made sure we knew she was breathing and needed us to pay attention to her

Her first feeding (of course, I HAD to stay for this!)

and lastly.... my favorite... baby toes!
Guys, I hope this preview holds you over for a few. Jennifer & Russ, I'll see you in a few days to finish up the story session. I hope Ben & Elly were thrilled meeting their new sister when they woke up this morning!
See you soon!

:) You two are so cool.
