Our sweet Eli guy made his way into the world on January 10, 2011. I was started that morning around 10 am and he arrived at 4:33 pm. I was dialated to a 4 and 90% effaced when I arrived, yet it was a little slow moving until my water was broken around 2:30 pm. From there the contractions began to come quickly. I then had my epidural about 3 pm and bippity boppity boo!
It was a beautiful experience to share with my love. There is nothing like it on earth to create a little being with your forever mate. Luckily, I also got an amazing record of Eli's birth story through my SIL's talent of photography. I am absolutely in love with what she captured. It really brings the memories right back to me. While there are a lot of pictures here, this is just a small snippet of all she took. I will cherish them forever! Thanks Amanda @ amandaabelphotography.com.
