A Sweet Beginning ~ Emeline Addie Lobdell

On August 14, 2011, we welcomed our daughter into this world, Emeline Addie Lobdell. I had gone into my birthing time on Friday, August 12 and after a wonderful but long labor, she was born at 2:17, Sunday afternoon. We had her at the Women's Birth and Wellness Center in Chapel Hill. My husband, my mom, my sister, and the amazing women at the birth center helped me tremendously as I had this baby. Emeline was 8lbs.5oz, 20.5inches, and completely perfect and lovely! Here are a few moments from the first two weeks of her life as her daddy and I got to know her.

Our Family Beach Trip

In the heat of July, Simon and I were able to take a break from the Piedmont to join my family at the beach. Nothing is better than hanging out with your little nephew and the rest of your family when everyone is relaxed and happy. Here are a few pictures from our trip.
