Lily Odessa Buhrley came to us early Thursday morning October 1st. We are so excited to have her here and healthy. The labor was the hardest and easiest one so far! Hardest because my contractions were awful, the worst I had ever felt, and the easiest because from the beginning of the first contraction until she came out was 6 1/2 hours! I only had to push 3 times and my recovery has been great! It was an emotional and triumphant experience. I don't know that many more words can put into perspective all that I felt and continue to feel. Probably every mother knows what I am talking about. My mom and Matt were of course in the delivery room like the other 3, but this time my sister in law Ruth was able to come and take pictures. I was so thrilled that she was willing to do this because I feel like she captured the emotion of it all, not just the event. She does photography not as a business but because she is good and loves it and I am so glad I was able to feel her love! Thanks Ruthie for the amazing job you did! Matt and I are both so pleased and so thankful.
