Nathie and Olaf proudly announce the birth of their DAUGHTER, Phoebe Jean Krull, who arrived rather quickly at 5:35 in the morning of October 3!
She was the result of her parents' plans and dreams, nine months of intense development and 4 and a half hours of labor. (Alright!--a mother's dream!) She had a water birth by candlelight (meaning she was born in a kiddie pool in her living room) and weighed 8 lbs. 12 ozs. and was 21 inches long. (In the photo no one yet knows who she is because she really just got placed on Nathie's chest--more pictures will come soon!)
Bonnie, Claire (Nathie and Olaf, of course) and three midwives of the "Sacred Entryways or Pathways" (or something like that--now that I don't remember the name it sounds funny but is no reflection on their wonderful, supportive, knowledgeable and professional efforts!) were all present. Julian slept through the whole thing in his bedroom but could not be cajoled into sleeping more after the onset of the lusty wails of his new sister.
She is beautiful, with a round face, pink skin, and extremely long fingers and toes--surfer or pianist, nobody knows!
Congratulations to all and welcome to Phoebe!
amazing! congratulations! Olaf congratulations! this is great! even though I only spoke to my sister briefly after her ceremony, I could tell she was in good spirits.
ReplyDeletePhoebe has some big shoes to fill. Can't wait to meet her.
Great pictures. Olaf looks almost biblical.
