Second day with Cambria

I will mostly just let these pictures speak for themselves....

 

 

July 4th, sitting with my 1 day old baby.  I was so meant to do this-

I can hardly believe it it's real.

I am on about 4 hours of sleep since Thursday and its Saturday night.

I hope I sleep good.  I love how pregnancy and my babies offer me

freedom- to be where I am. That feels like just one of the gifts I

am given as a new mama. 

Gift from Cambria...it was great to have in the hospital.

 

 

almost 4th of July

 

 

 

Cynthia has shown up for every birth of our babies

at the hospital.  It was wild that we saw her the

day before and we have not seen her since we

moved back to Maui two years ago. 

Because I would ,miss real fireworks, the kids drew some for me

with Kimberly, the nurses loved the "fireworks" also!

Cynthia is a beautiful hula dancer, she danced a song that

was for all three of our kiddos She said it signified

them being born here and spoke of Hawaii.

It was a special moment in that hospital room. 

 

The kids left to go watch fireworks, we all felt a little sad.

I was missing sitting with them and not being a part of that family time.

But they called and let us "watch" with them. 

I felt so torn about Andrew coming back.  I so wanted him with

Cambria and I...but I also knew our older two wanted and needed

him with them.  Dev cried both nights leaving the hospital, it was

hard.  But I told Drew to stay and I will never forget our first

night together-Cambria and I.  It was sweet. I watched fireworks

on T.V. from Washington and was cozy in bed with my baby.

I was one of the only patients and I was at the very end of the

hallway.  I am filled.  We had such a bonding time together,

that first night alone.
