Rivers birth story

I typed it. His entire birth story, the highs, the lows and everything in between. It was long and there was so much to it. Then, the screen went back a previous page and it was gone. All of it. It didn't auto save like this site usually does. Granted, I knew I was typing it all out for me. I wanted Rivers birth story typed out for my sake, who in the world would read it all anyhow. Then, just like that, it's gone.

Needless to say, with 4 boys at home, one of them being a newborn, I don't have much free time to get it all down again. It's now 5 minutes past midnight. River will be awake soon to nurse and Travis is asleep next to me on the couch. I'll share River's birth story, but, I'll share it in pictures. Heck, thats what we are good at anyway, right? Pictures we have yet to share on social media. Pictures of the moments he arrived and the moments after because these are pictures I cherish and pictures that tell the story without me having to again. 

Rivers birth was story went better than I had anticipated. With a 4th c-section, my anxiety was high and the unknown scared me. He came out perfect. 7 pounds 10 ounces 19 1/2 inches long with dark black hair (which was the most unexpected part of it all). 

We adore this little man more than words can express. Welcome to the tribe River.
