The very first characteristic Kamden’s parents fell in love with are his lips. When they brought him into the studio, I could see exactly why. It’s a feature he and his older sister share common (want to see for yourself, see Kadence’s year in review) and they are complete perfection!
When you’ve been best friends with someone since 5th grade, it’s even more awesome to be a part of the birth of her babies.
On January 8th, I was in a hospital in Nebraska waiting for this little girl to make her entrance. Because of Billie’s history, she was being induced. It was a very long day and I’m in awe of my friend’s strength. When Billie started throwing up, I felt a wave of excitement, I thought we were very close to pushing. After all she got sick just before Bronx was born. Something about throwing up helps push that baby where it needs to be. However, this time it wasn’t the case. When the nurse came in and let us know that the doctor wanted to move to a c-section because Billie had a fever and the baby’s baseline heart rate had increase my heart sank a bit. We were worried about Billie and baby and I thought for sure I would not be allowed to go along. When the nurse announced that I’d get to go too, I had an extremely tough time holding back my emotions. Honestly, I’m surprised I didn’t start sobbing. In what felt like moments, the hospital crew and Bill (Daddy), were wheeling Billie back for the c-section and 19 minutes later Stevi arrived. She was perfect, beautiful and stole my heart.
I can’t imagine anything better than watching my friend’s welcome their baby girl into this world!
