hendrix michael // a birth story.

renee gave me the go ahead to post pictures and tell of hendrix's birth.   so...if this sort of stuff isn't your thing, i'll try to have a new post up soon :)

where to begin?!   i'm at a loss for words.  it wasn't even MY birth but just thinking of may 17th, tears well in my eyes and i just shake my head.  and in all honestly, it hits me randomly, i'll be driving down the road and i think of renee & hendrix and the train of events that day and tears roll down my cheeks.   after hendrix's birth, renee started to have extreme hemorrhaging causing seizures and emergency surgery.    this picture from the day after speaks thousands of words.   sweet penny embracing her mommy.   the whole night before we all prayed over & over that penny would have a mama to hug that morning.   thank you Jesus, you are our mighty savior, healer, & creator of new life.

starting the day off.   (during this time i was in the car rushing to get there before baby boy was born...)



 ((who looks this pretty at 40 weeks?!  renee!!))
 grandpa needs to get an award.  he has been there for all the grand babies
 births and just as anxious as us girls.


i made it before baby was born!!!  yay!!!



 grandma.  she has seen all her grandbaby's first breaths.   amazing!!




 "its go time."








 somewhere during this point the dr had warned things weren't going quite smooth.   sorry renee & tom, i know i had my camera down & was raising my hands praying.   missed a gap of pictures...

and he is born!

there was quite sometime before he took his first breath and when he let out the sweetest cry, there wasn't a dry eye.







...dana even joined in on the birth via speaker phone :)

I just love your family! Seriously, your dad being there for all of his daughters during their childrens births, your mom there at their first breaths, you driving all they way from Colorado with 3 small children to be there on time to support Renee..... Seriously your family is so much of what I hope and pray for ours to be someday! What beautiful photos and the one of Penney and Renee is just priceless. LOVE!
