<span class="drop_cap">T</span>his last week, my husband and I welcomed our first child into the world. We are so excited to be new parents, and I wanted to share some of my favorite photos from the birth that my husband was amazing enough to take for me. He did such a great job, and they already mean so much more to me than I can express.

My husband took this as I was looking up at a mirror on the ceiling that allowed me to view the actual birth. I never thought that I'd want to see that, but it was so incredible to witness. Such a miracle to see our baby daughter being brought into this world.
