Having a second baby has been a really good experience because we were able to change some of the things that happened that we didn’t love at Moses’ birth. One thing was we decided this time we wanted an extra set of hands to take photos and help Paul if he needed it. We asked my good friend Aubrey (who is conveniently a photographer) to help. Here are some polaroids she took. I am so glad I have these.

That labor one still kills me… the tear! And the last one is my favorite for sure. So glad Aubrey was able to be there to capture this for you and Paul and Ro-Ro. It's so much better than just the "after" photos that I have. Aubrey has such a talent.

These are beautiful as was the lovely photo of Roman to introduce him to your 'oh happy day' family. The journey of his arrival has been a lovely counterpoint to all the visual beauty you offer in your posts. Thank you for sharing this most special gift you have – a lovely new son with all of us.
