Every Mother Counts

He made me a mother. Not in the way I planned, not in the way I expected. In fact, not even in a way the doctor had expected. But he still made me a mother. They said he was supposed to be born on April 4th or April 6th, it ended up being the 5th. They said he would be too small and have no problem coming out. He ended up being too big (8 pounds, 5 ounces!) and requiring an emergency C-section. But no matter how you look at it and how many twists and turns we went through to get him here, he made me a mother. I will forever love my Henry and he will always be my son.



Did you know that one woman dies every two minutes from complications during pregnancy and childbirth? Go here to find out more about how to make a difference. We couldn't have made it without the amazing team of health care professionals who helped bring Henry into the world.

Alt Summit believes every mother counts. It's the month to celebrate mamas!

Simple Things

Yesterday, we were in for a treat! After spending so much time away from everything trying to recover and taking care of our new Henry, it was finally time to get out for a little bit. We decided to take Henry right into the heart of Philadelphia. His first visit to Reading Terminal Market and surprise, spring finally decided to come to Philly! The blossoms are finally in full bloom. 

I love my men.

I'll be back to blogging this week and have a few guest posts in store as well. So happy to finally have Henry here! Beware of the overload of pictures coming to this blog!

Introducing Henry Storey

Oh, we are in love. Our Little Man finally came and we could not be happier. Right now, we're busy getting used to having a newborn around and I'm recovering from the birth. But in the meantime, here's our first family home video that we took while we were in the hospital. About day two (out of five) I started to get a little bored of being in our room even though I couldn't move. So what's a girl to do when she's stuck in her hospital bed? Make video of everything that's going on around her. Especially when it captures those first few moments of us being a family together. Hope you like it!
