What a beauty! Yay Connie!!! You look awesome and that precious baby is gorgeous
Enjoy these most special moments of life together. I love the introduction/getting-to-know-you hours. They are most definitely the most surreal times in my life. Congratulations to you and your whole precious family!

Welcome to the world sweet Peyton!!! You’re too cute for words!!! One side note Connie, I just learned last week that my step-grandma’s middle name is Iva. I’d never heard that name before and can’t believe after 25 years I had no idea what her middle name was. I told my DH if God decides to bless us with another daughter someday I wanted to name her Iva after my grandma. Enjoy your little sweetie, congratulations to your family!!

Hooray!!!!
Well done Momma! Welcome little Peyton! We are SO thrilled for you all!
I have to tell you, my due date for #6 is tomorrow, and reading your hourly updates made me so nervous! Imagine a whole flock of butterflies migrating through my stomach. I remember all too well the feelings (both physical and emotional) associated with each step of labor. BUT! Seeing this beautiful photo of you holding your precious one is completely reassuring.
I know I can do it–this is what God has made our bodies to do. He has granted us the amazing privilege of holding and nourishing these sweet babies for Him, both before birth and after. What a gift! A difficult day of pain is SO worth it.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Again, Congratulations!!!
