I had hoped to get this posted on T's 2 week birthday, but c'est la vie, day late and I'll take it as we transition to this momma being solo with 3 littles ages almost 3.5 and under. There are 62 pictures taken by RCWJr and our amazing photog, Sarah with Little White Whale Photography. Sarah's awesome and has been with us since C's newborn pictures. Best investment ever is having a photographer at the hospital on babe's birth day - I always adore the images she captures. Also, there is a picture of T being born, its picture #10 just FYI in case you don't want to see that and there is also a picture of me trying to breastfeed T, it isn't graphic, but again just a warning, its picture #29. But without further ado, here's T's birth story in pictures with as few words as I know how to possibly type.
