Chloe Mae

On July 9th at 10:39pm, Brandon and I were blessed with the arrival of our sweet little girl. She is just a miracle! Chloe Mae weighed 7 lbs 5 oz and was 19 1/2 inches long. The adventure started at our appointment with our midwife on Wednesday night; she determined that my blood pressure was too high and scheduled a medical induction for Thursday morning. We arrived at the hospital and experienced a very long day waiting for Pitocin to kick in. The actual active labor portion of our day at the hopsital went very smoothly and was very easy. I feel so lucky! Brandon kicked right into "Dad" mode. He was such an awesome support thoughout the delivery, and he is such a natural with Chloe.

Chloe is an absolute angel! She has a broken collar bone, but she has been such a brave girl. We love her so much, even if she doesn't sleep at all at night :)!



Thank you, thank you, thank you for all of the visits, texts, flowers, and phone calls. We are so grateful for our family and friends!

She is a beauty! So glad she is safely here. There is no way to describe a mother's love until you are one and it is an indescribable experience. You finally understand "Pure Love." Take care and hope you are feeling well. Can't wait to meet Chloe in person.

I don't know why but I got kind of emotional reading and looking at your pictures for this blog. It's probably because I know how overwhelmingly blessed you both feel now that Chloe has arrived and you both are a mom & dad. Congrats! She is a doll! I hope that we can make it over this weekend to see you guys. xoxo
