...the birth of sweet Cameron David. Born June 10th to proud parents Kevin and Kari. Bryan and I are thrilled to have another nephew...the kids, another cousin. And can I just say what a tough woman Kari is? She decided months and months ago that she wanted to do this labor natural. No epidural. Not something I'd ever want to do, really, but I know that many women have that desire/goal. So Kari did some serious preparation in anticipation of this labor and delivery. She did oodles of research. She and Kevin went to classes. She practiced meditation and relaxing techniques. She was prepared physically and mentally when her water broke early morning on the 10th. And even though this labor went for a good 14 hours or so....kind of long for a 5th baby....she stuck with it! And she did it! And I can't even tell you how impressed I am with her! And how proud! And even slightly envious, in a way. Because even though all births are special, wonderful, memorable little miracles...not only did she end up with a sweet baby as a result, she also achieved a huge goal. And I've got to think that somehow, that makes the whole event a little sweeter, you know?
Lilian was so excited to meet her newest cousin. And Kevin was so sweet to help her hold little Cameron.
