Hepzibah Everest. A birth story.

December 10, 2015

This goes on the record books for being one of my favorite moments ever. What an honor and a privilege it was to be with my little sister as she gave birth to her daughter (and my first niece!), Hepzibah Everest. Guys, birth is so intense! You can prepare and take classes and read all you want but experiencing it is a whole ‘nother thing. Alaina was full of beauty and strength during labor and I loved watching the way Dustin took care of her and supported her. They read scripture, prayed, and completely leaned on Jesus through the pain.

Hepzibah entered the world at 1:45 in the morning and came in at 8 pounds, 19 inches. She is perfectly squishy and adorable and has a head full of dark hair. The photos of their first moments as a family of three bring tears to my eyes every time…

Praise the Lord!
I am so happy for you guys.
The photos are so involving, it brings back the times when I gave birth as well.
Love you.

Oh, I l.o.v.e. the picture of Hepzibah in the middle with her mom and dad’s hands around her and her own hand out. Ahhhh. wonderful.
And Dustin’s mom and dad look so proud and so overcome and so into their new grandchild. Junior looks so in love with his own son.
Thanks so much for sharing pictures! I loved them all and love you all too.

Beautiful birth pictures! So excited for Alaina and Dustin! You captured some intense moments that I am sure they will treasure forever! The look on Alaina’ s face after Hepzibah was born is absolutely priceless! Treasure this moment forever…let us know if there is anything we can do for you all. We love you and you all are in our prayers!!
