Our friends, Shane and Heather Carroll, are proud to present the newest addition to their family. Little Sydney was born on my birthday, June 30th, at 4:27 a.m.. I was so honored to join them for the birth ... I have never witnessed a live birth (other than the births of my own children, but they were both C-sections and I never saw a thing!). The birth of a child ... to watch them enter the world ... there's nothing like it, at least from my perspective. I was completely amazed ... crying uncontrollably while trying to take pictures with two different cameras ... it was an experience that I'll never forget. It was even more special that she was born on my birthday. I told Heather that Sydney will always love her aunt Jen because I will make sure of it!
And speaking (er, writing) of Heather ... she has earned my respect even more for her strength. As I mentioned, my two children were delivered by C-section, so I never had to endure a vaginal birth. Heather was so calm and determined ... and she looked great, too. Her hair and makeup stayed put which also amazed me! I looked like I had just entered the 24th hour of a drinking binge ... and Heather looked like she had just showered and changed. Truly amazing!
Anyway, here are a few photos of Sydney with her mommy and daddy ... ain't she beautiful?
