He's Here!

his-first-eye-opening
Introducing my new baby boy...

He was brought into the world a week ago today, Wednesday, October 13th, at 6:56 a.m. We have been home since Saturday and are all adjusting really well.  This baby is super chill, peaceful, and very healthy.  We are so in love!

I am still processing my wild and completely unexpected birthing experience and will share my story with you later this week. For now, I share with you some of his first photos.

Watch Kestan's quick video announcement below to hear "baby brothers" name.
