My dears, I promise our birth story is coming soon. I have been writing a bit each day, but with a teeny baby, everything takes way longer than expected! Here’s a photo from right after Toby was born, which still makes me feel little weepy.
Update: Here’s the birth story. xo
Quite worthwhile material, thanks for your post.

I have a photo of the three of us just after Lucia was born framed in her nursery…I see it every day and I just smile at it. I have her in my arms just two months later and it seems like yesterday. I wonder if it will always feel like that? I just love her so much. wasn’t that first hug just the most remarkable moment ever?
Looking forward to the birth story!
you are one rockin momma! where do you find the time to blog, visit blogs and leave sweet comments? however you do it i really appreciate it from the bottom of my lil ole heart! you are one of my favorite and sweetest visitors and i am so looking forward to your birth story.
have a loveLee day my friend and hugs to toby!
So sweet! I’m bad about living in the moment that it takes me awhile to reflect on a moment and really digest it. Something so wonderful and big in your life will most likely take you awhile to reflect and put into words. Take your time!
I love birth stories. I’m a midwife :)
Can’t wait!
Oh my gosh, congratulations Mommy & welcome Toby!!
ahhh! completely touching!
aw, thank you SO much, irene! so sweet of you. thanks for all these lovely comments, everyone!
I cant wait!
What a beautiful photo, Joanna. Can’t wait to read your birth story.
So sweet and tender. Such a precious and beautiful moment to share with your readers.
i never comment. i guess i just don’t want to bother you. but this photo of you and baby lovebug just has me bursting from the seems.
i can only hope one day i’m as lucky to have such cupcake of my own.
this is the prettiest picture you’ve ever posted (and there have been hundreds of beautiful pics).
xo,
katie
Oh goody! I check everyday. I’ve been eager to hear.
Oh my goodness. This photo makes ME feel weepy! Can’t wait to hear the whole story (I’ll make sure I have waterproof mascara on hand)!
So sweet!
what a wonderful moment captured on film. Thank you for sharing with us, I am excited to read more
How completely adorable. I just got all goosebumpy… can’t wait to read your whole story!
oh so beautiful! I cannot wait to hear all about it and most likely cry my eyes out from the adorable-ness :)
Adorable! Can’t wait to hear all about it! Thanks for sharing! XX
That was such a tease! :) I settled down with my coffee to read it and only got a glimpse of the trailer. Looking forward to it and thank you so much for sharing! Beautiful photo. xoxo
Just so precious, isn’t it? How did you manage to still look so stylish just after pushing out a human wearing that gown?
so precious and beautiful! Can’t wait to read about it
beautiful, you look so very happy
Am really looking forward to the story of how this little angel came into the word.

The best kind of love there is!
Congratulations!
And Welcome to the world to little Toby! Gorgeous!
The moment right after the birth when you lock eyes with your new baby is the most magic in life. I still cry at the memory of both my children’s births.
Enjoy this precious time.

congratulations to all you expecting mamas!!! so exciting!!!!!
haha, samantha, there are a few shots where my eyes are INSANE looking — all red and watery and sleepy :) that’s why i chose this one with my eyes down, haha :)
I can’t wait to read you birth story! I am due in 6 weeks and I have been reading so many birth stories. Toby is adorable!!
being a mother is indescribable:) enjoy
that’s the best. I love that photo. I have one too and though I don’t love the way I look it will always help me remember that first moment I saw his little face. You look beautiful. Why don’t you look tired? Something is suspect!
with a child of ANY age, things always take longer than expected—and anyone with children has either a good bit of patience, or has already gone to the looney bin.
can’t wait to read the story. :)
oh my what a beautiful picture. thats the best feeling in the world! congrats your a great mamma!

Congratulations!!! You look so happy with Toby.
My 1 and only baby boy will be 21 in 2 weeks and I still get weepy thinking about our birth story! I hope your Toby brings you as much joy as my Jacob has me!
Take you’re time, bebe. You’ll only write it once, and everyone will be here waiting whenever your ready.
So beautiful..and it’s so wonderful that you feel such a connection with this community to share such personal things. So, a big thank you for inspiring me to be ok with it too!

The day you have anticipated for 9 months and even longer is finally here and you have your own beautiful baby in your arms. Wonderful.
AW you teased me! ha I thought you had written it because the title of the post is “Birth Story”
such a cute picture!
Skin on skin contact first is the best thing ever, a special bond made more special!
:)
no rush, take your time, you want to remember all those small details.
take care of yourself and the little one first.
awww precious!!
Oooo MAMA, you look good for just giving birth!! :) xoxo
oh, hi Toby!
can’t believe how much he’s grown since then!
Oh my goodness! How absolutely precious, my darling. How wonderful it must be to have a child of one’s own. <3
Congratulations!
XOXO-

Everything about this photo is precious. My dad died 7 years ago and I was having a rough say today because it was his birthday! But that photo put a smole on my face. :)
Awww, what a super sweet picture. Cannot wait for the birth story!!! :D
Sweet Toby!
beautiful!
it’s hard to even describe feelings, when looking at this photo…
but one thing is beaming from it- the love!
thank you for sharing!
Can’t wait to see more photos and hear all about it. What a miracle!
Love that picture – can’t wait to read the birth story!
Beautiful picture! Congratulations to the three of you. It’s amazing how time is never quite the same after having a baby. My daughter is almost three and while I can still remember the day she was born like it was yesterday, it also seems like a lifetime ago because they grow and change so quickly. Enjoy your little guy.
what a beautiful moment! excited to hear the story :]
So lovely — can’t wait to hear your story!
I look forward to hearing the story. This photo sent chills down my spine (in a good way!)
