After nine and a half months (ending with a rather uncomfortable twelve hours), Henry James made his appearance into our family! Thank you so much to everyone who has brought us yummy dinners, our mystery lawn mower, and Sydney’s grandparents (both sets) who took care of Sydney while we were in the hospital. A big thank you to Lauren Ulrich (friend, doula, 2006 Under Grace Bride) for helping labor be as painless as possible and to Joanna Kleine for popping her head in and shooting Henry’s birth story!


Sydney is adjusting quite well to being a big sister.

She checks on him from time to time while he is sleeping and will toss a stuffed animal or blankie in the crib if he looks like he needs one.

Of course we also are heavily documenting these first few days. Say cheese Henry!

She loves getting lots and lots of Daddy time now too!
