On Sunday, September 30th, Summer Jayne Harrell (my niece!) made her grand entrance. Lydia had been in labor for 20 hours by the time Summer made her arrival at 4:13 in the morning at St. Joseph’s Women’s Hospital in Tampa, Florida. (Fun fact: three generations of women in my family have now been born at this hospital!)
It was such an honor to be in the labor and delivery room with my twin sister as she gave birth to her first child. (And yes, I’m already obsessed with my niecey and want to snuggle her just about all the time.)
And, watching Lyd hold her daughter and dive right on into Motherhood, was pure magic. I’m forever grateful I was given the opportunity to be a part of such a special experience and capture these love-filled moments.
Thank you to Lyd and Walt for letting me share this milestone with you two. It was incredible!
