She's Here!


Mikayla Elizabeth


9# 120z


Pure Sweetness

Aunt Emily and Bella hanging out waiting for the birth.

Cousin Alaiah was there too.

It was a pretty tough birth...she was a big baby...but Mikayla finally made her way out into this world at 7:00pm.
Her family was all there waiting to greet her.


I had a wonderful midwife and I was so happy to be able to have a homebirth again. There really is no better way!

Getting her head measured-
151/4 " and, yes- I definitely noticed!

Meeting daddy and big brother Caleb.

Sisters








We are all so very happy to welcome you, sweet Mikayla!

Thank you, Jesus, for answering our prayers!

She is so very beautiful Jenni. Congratulations!

I had my 4 babies at home as well...including my first surrogate baby and last year, surrogate twins...all born into their mommas hands. You are right, there is no better way. :)

Congratulations! I keep checking your blog looking for the joyous news. Another sweet girl - she is so precious and beautiful with such sweet cheeks and blond hair. I am sorry for the hard labor, but it is all worth it. I am praising God with you!
