~Labor and Deliver ~

Eric and I had a very blessed experience laboring for our little Penelope.  As many of you know we were unsure of the gender and were very excited the moment she appeared in the world to find a girl.  Penelope was really the only name that we had both agreed on before hand (an awkward boy name).  

Husband Coached Child Birth was the method that we used to have Penelope naturally.  All the woman that I talked with before hand about natural child-birth said that it was difficult, but soon afterward the pain is gone when the beautiful baby arrives.  It's true too!  We were overwhelmed with joy after having our baby girl.  We will definitely do it again!

Our First Blog

Well, we have officially hopped on the blog-wagon!  We've decided like many of you that this is a great way to update everyone (assuming that anyone is interested) on our life as a new family.  Who knows though, it may just be a realization of how boring we truly are.  

We are made up of parents, Eric and Katie, and currently one child, Penelope Rose.  Penelope is a very new child and we are really enjoying finding out all of the things that we really don't know, which is a lot being a new parent.  It truly is amazing that any of us make it into adulthood.
