I know, I know…I owe you guys 1) some pics of this baby and 2) a nice long, descriptive, honest review of labor! I myself have JUST had the chance to sit down and look at the pictures Autumn took for us of the whole thing!
I know most women would NEVER want ANYONE to see them during the birth of their babies, however I started looking at these and it just made me swell with pride! I’m totally fine with the WORLD seeing natural childbirth in action! And I honestly think I look pretty dang good doing it too!
They are very tastefully done (nothing “down there” to worry about, however there are a couple shots of breastfeeding, again tasteful, but skip ’em if you don’t feel comfortable) so ENJOY! I will of course narrate the story asap for you guys!
Also these pictures OFFICIALLY introduce our little “Clover” to the world!
