He’s here!!

Our son is here!!

Dashiell Mack Wharton

Born on his due date (of course!), April 9, at 11 PM and was a hefty fellow at 9 lbs 8 oz and 22 inches of perfection. Words cannot describe the euphoria I felt at seeing Dashiell and holding him for the first time. Chris and I are so completely in love with him. Obviously we think he is the most beautiful, perfect baby ever to be born.

Labor and birth was intense and hardest thing I've ever done. But I was able to have the natural birth Chris and I had planned for and although it was so hard it was so worth it. I'm working on writing up the birth story and plan to share this week.

We are settling in at home and getting the hang of things and loving every minute. Be back before too long to share more…for now it's back to my little family and loving on those fat cheeks.
