My morning view



"Silence strips man and makes him like a child: pure but frail, innocent, and without provisions. Silence shapes us as the blacksmith works metal." ~Cardinal Sarah

My view this morning:

I am so overjoyed to announce that yesterday at 10:59 a.m., I gave birth to a beautiful boy! 

My heart is so full, and I am abundantly blessed to have an incredible husband who loved, supported, and prayed with me through this birth. It was an beautiful experience, and eventually I'll put some of my birth story up here because I think birth stories are pretty fun, and I think it's neat to see the similarities and differences with my firstborn's labor and delivery ;) 

I hope that you all have a wonderful feast of St. Bartholomew and an abundantly blessed weekend!
