She's here!!!At 1:04 am on Wednesday, October 14th, Cadence Lesia Zastrow was born.
She weighed 7 lbs. 12.5 oz. and was 20 1/2 in. long.
The above pictures are from Sami (I know I've linked to her before but this is an awesome new website...check it out!). She wanted to get some good pictures before we went off to the hospital! So, the above pictures were right at the beginning of labor. Everything went really well and was pretty quick. We got to the hospital around 10:30 Tuesday night and she was born two and a half hours later. After she was born Sami came to the hospital to get some brand-newborn pictures. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful photographer as a best friend!!
Later that day our friend Michelle stopped by to visit and meet Cadence. She took these awesome pictures for us. It was so fun to see that she had captured Cadence with her eyes open. I think she'll have big eyes just like her sister! :)
We are so lucky to live in community! My labor had started just after I layed Bella down for bed on Tuesday night, and we were able to go to the hospital and not worry at all about Bella and having to take her somewhere because the family we live with were able to be there with her! So, the next morning after Cadence was born Sami got Bella all ready to come and meet her little sister. She took a few pictures of Bella waiting for Daddy to come and get her. When I saw Bella walk into our hospital room looking like this it made my day! :) Thanks SO much Sami!
Now we have two beautiful girls and couldn't be happier! Cadence is a great newborn and we are all doing wonderful!
