Ben & I got to be the labor coaches. All natural birth. Amazing!

Didn't like her first bath.

Love my jammies

Beauty
The boys are mesmerized by her.
Luke asked to be first. He commented on her soft skin and how tiny she is. He said,"She's so cute I want to cry." He gives her a kiss on the head whenever he has the chance.
Gabe has had a lingering cough from a cough a month ago, so he's wearing a mask. He is very careful with her. He's excited to be a big brother.
Clark is curious about her. He's excited about telling people that we have a baby Whitney.
She finally opened her eyes to look around at 12 hours old. I like this picture because you can see how Whitney looks like her birthmom. Whitney has her mouth, nose, eyes, skin tone, and frame. The only features from the Japanese birthdad is her fine black hair and ears.
She's looking at me when I'm saying her name.
First Bow
We feel so blessed to have Whitney join our family. She has a very calming spirit. Sweet soft cry only when she's hungry or soiled. Great eater and sleeper so far. Dream baby. We definitely feel this was the #1 reason we were guided to Saipan.
