Baby, Daddy, Home + Life, Melanie's First Year Photo Project, Mommy · July 16, 2013

Meet Melanie Jocelyn

Melanie made her entrance into the world on July 12, 2013 at 9:13 AM.

She was born at San Antonio Military Medical Center (SAMMC) in San Antonio, Texas.

7 pounds // 14 ounces // 20 inches long

We're pretty pleased with her.

I was in labor for 24 hours (I think) and in the actual hospital delivering her for about 1 hour.

I was able to deliver her vaginally and without any pain medications.

The contractions weren't that bad but the pushing was really, really tough.

The Boy was AMAZING and a wonderful advocate, coach, and daddy.

My mom was great and incredibly helpful during the early stages of labor.

I had to stay in the hospital for 48 hours – we came home early Sunday.

I'll be back in the next week or so and sharing all about my final days of pregnancy + our birth story + our hospital stay (and what we learned).

But for now? Cute baby time.

Sharing is caring!
