Our doula Sarah made a beautiful movie for us and these are just parts of it. I am so thankful for Sarah's videos because our video camera wasn't working (bad time to figure that out!) and this is such a precious moment for us to remember. She said I could share! Thanks Sarah!
1st Video: "We meet at last!"

This was my first time getting to meet Kristen (about 3.5 hours after birth). There's not a lot of talking at first. Patti Ramos is the friend/doula/photographer that is snapping the photos - which we are SOOO fortunate to have! And our doula Sarah took the video on her camera since our video camera was out of commission!
Things said:
--"Is this too hard on her" regarding me holding her like that. to which they replied she's doing just fine.
--"You have hair! Oh, sweetie, you have hair! Your sister will be so jealous!"
-- Kristen's little breathing noises sound like purring!
--"Did she cry when she came out?" replied with "I wasn't there, I'm so sorry." Then Patti asks the midwife Dorie the same question who answers "she wasn't really vigorous." And Patti asks "Has she opened her eyes?" And Dorie and Kevin agree she has at least one at a time.
--"You sound like mommy does when she snores" and Kevin adds "and Libby" and I say "libby the dog, and Katelynn your sister, and daddy...we all snore!"
2nd Video: "Our Family of Four"
(FYI - it's a 7 minute video)

It was the 2nd time I got to see Kristen, and Katelynn's first. She was about 6-7 hours old at this point and hadn't been moved to the NICU at Tacoma General yet.
You can hear Kristen breathing which sounded a lot like purring! You can hear some of the comments but not all of them. Katelynn was so enamored with her new baby sister! And she did so well for it being almost 11pm (almost 3 hours passed her bedtime!) and she had been camping with Nana and Papa that day! It was a long and eventful day for all of us!
