The Birth of George

This post is long overdue! George is now 5 weeks old and I have been soaking up as much of his newborn goodness as I can. This time just goes way too fast, it makes my heart hurt to think about it! I have now taken over 3800 photos of him on my camera and who knows how many on my phone. And I still don’t think I have documented enough- I know its crazy!

July 25, 2014, our lives changed forever as we welcomed our third baby into this world. I never want to forget one moment from this day or how I felt. The first few days are the most magical, it’s hard to even put into words. If I could go back to the first days of my babies’ lives, I would live there forever.

Here are my favorite photos from the morning we woke up on birthing day, to the morning we came home from the hospital. I will let the photos do the talking, I couldn’t possibly put down in words the feelings during this time.

Oh- excuse the quality of some of these photos, many were taken on iphones and pulled from Instagram. Except for the birth photos, those were taken by my BFF Katie, who is also a photographer. Thank you Katie for the beautiful photos, I will treasure them forever!

Welcome to the world baby George, we love you beyond words.

George is named after my cousin Matt Van Velse. Matt was just 8 days younger than me. He passed away after an extremely long battle with cancer in January of 2013. You will always be in my heart Matt, watch over George for us.
