[ChesapeakeBorn]

ith great joy and relief we announce the arrival of Willem Addison: born at 8:30pm yesterday, exactly 1 week before his due date. Our solstice baby! 7lbs, 5oz
20 inches. Labor and delivery was intense, but amazing. Big sister is completely in love with her Christmas present, as are mom and dad, of course. I am just so completely overwhelmed with gratitude. It is just amazing that he is here, especially after all the early hemorrhaging.

Pictures to follow when we get home. Hope everyone is well!

UPDATE - Pictures of baby Willem!

Okay, it took me a while with the holiday and all, but as promised here are some pics! This is such a dream-come-true. Labor and delivery was amazing - I felt so empowered and in control of my birth. Hypnobabies is incredible. And Willem is such a content and sweet baby!

- Willem brand-new (I was bawling my eyes out for half an hour! Will was so strong throughout labor and delivery. He was actually kicking me while I was pushing!)
- Just a few hours old
- Little Nursling 24 hours old (Will is a champion nurser!)
- Very Proud Big Sister (All Annabelle wanted for Christmas was her baby brother!)
- Brother and sister
