our new son arrived last saturday. he was born at home and in the water on his due date (which was the most beautiful spring day, and also the queen’s birthday!). heaven hung above us as he came into the world. and now, everything is new.

his name is gabriel james wright, and we are blown away by how much we love him.  

the past six days been laden with so much sweetness. this time is so, so special and we are cherishing every moment. {but i will share more pictures and a birth story before too long!}

“birth was and will always be the most commonplace of miracles - an event at once familiar and phenomenal, timeless and immediate, briefly making angels of us all.” {from call the midwife}

"when a child is born, the world is altered in an instant. a new voice is heard, new love comes into being. years later, we pause and say, "yes, that's when it all began, on that day, in that room, when i saw that face." birth is the smallest of magnificent things, and the greatest of little ones." {from call the midwife}

  9. Congratulations to your family. I love the quotes from Call the Midwife. I am thinking he looks a bit like Moses? Very cute little boy. I can't wait to hear more and see what Mo thinks of his little brother.

  17. Congratulations!!!! Can you tell me? Your instagram pictures at the top? They are amazing. Do you take them with your good/big camera and then upload to insta? It seems like they're not taken with a phone camera. Just curious
