After a MUCH anticipated wait, they have arrived – Malia’s birth photos. Justine took over 700 photos, so I knew it would be awhile before I got them in hand, and the wait was well worth it. She gave me over 100 edited photos – but I’ll post my favorites.
I know people probably think it’s weird that I had a photographer in the room, witnessing such a personal moment – but I don’t regret it for one second. Yes, she took photos of my junk – but I don’t care, in the moment I was SO happy she was there to document such an amazing experience for our family. And the after birth photos –ABSOLUTELY PRICELESS. I know that every year on Malia’s birthday, I will look at these photos and cry – tears of happiness. What a beautiful day this was, and Justine – THANK YOU for being there and providing our family with such cherished memories.
The labor photos of me look AWFUL – but after battling the flu the day before, 3 failed IV attempts and a completely drug-free labor….I was bound to look pretty haggard!
I know I’ve said it a million times, but I can’t thank my mom and husband enough. They were such a great team together, getting me through each contraction and every push was like it was the first one. The moment Malia arrived was such a special moment for all 3 of us (and Malia) – we are all bonded in a way no one will ever understand.
