Amazing job, Sarah. Perfect

Cecelia, The Mom and Greta. Cecelia was fantastic. Kept things calm and directed the action. A steady, guiding hand as two amateurs try to do this birth thing.

Thanks for the details of that day! Greta's birthday will be a day you both will never forget. I remember Eli's birth in such detail and he will soon be 1!!! Cherish every moment!
Great Job! Those pictures remind me so much of our first day with Georgia. Your little daughter is so cute and sweet.
What a wonderful miracle she is! I understand the tears very well - it's amazing how such a small thing can induce such overwhelming feelings of love and pride!
YAY!!!! Congrats! She's absolutely beautiful, just like here mama! Can't wait to meet her!
HER mama....'cuse me :)
Love the pictures! Greta is adorable...or course! Bruce and Pam look like they had that picture taken by a professional photographer. Scott, you can have a side business! :) See you this afternoon!
She's amazing! Let me know when you get settled in and are ready for visitors. I can even bring some lunch or coffee with me!
