Blake Matthew Burnham

Little Blake was born on July 2nd at 2:02pm. He surprised us by being a whopping 8 lbs, 8 oz. The birth was so pleasant, and easy. My epidural was perfect, I had great support with Chad, my mom and Tia in the room, everything went really quick and smoothly and Blake made his entrance with only one push. I think I got pretty lucky. The whole experience was so special and spiritual. I love that I get to be a mom and bring these tiny spirits into the world. To top it all off, Blake is the cutest little guy with black, wavy hair and perfect little features. He resembles Parker, but definitely has his own look. Here are some pictures from the birth:
