The right name for her

     This week we've all been on absolute cloud nine with this little lady, and today we were finally able to decide on the right name for her! Richard and I both felt strongly right before her birthday that the names we'd had in mind just weren't right at all, so after starting over from square one and taking the last few days to talk it through, it felt SO good to find the right one. Thank you for your support and patience in waiting so long! :)

◦ Alice Loralee Carmack ◦
Born peacefully at home on Sunday, February 25th, 2018.  9 lbs 2 oz, and 20 1/2 inches long. 
◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦

     This week has been full of the most beautiful and raw moments we've had as a family in a long time. Birth is such a spiritual and empowering experience, and going through labor and delivery with Richard for the first time was so awesome, I'm excited about writing it all down before I forget any details.

     It's amazing how such a little person can bring so much happiness, and all the downtime together has felt so peaceful and calm and right. I feel so close to heaven when I'm with all my people! and trying to explain the love I have for them would just leave me in a big balling hormonal mess right now.haha

     My heart just feels so full. I've spent the week messy haired and makeup-free, feeling like a human milk machine in my sexy mesh undies and I can hardly see straight from sleep deprivation, but it's been so so wonderful. This feels like such a fresh start and jumping off point, and no matter how messy these days are, they're truly the best days and I want to savor every minute that I can.
 
     Thank you for your support in documenting her pregnancy and for your neverending encouragement through it all,

        You're so loved baby girl!!

    1. Thank you so much Stef, that means a lot. We really are just taking our time soaking up every little noise and yawn and newborn wrinkle. I hope we can drag them out as much as possible!

  6. What a beautiful story you have! Love reading it and grateful you are willing to share it. I love The name Alice(my last baby’s middle name, after her Grandma. Although I wanted It as a first name for her the hubs settled for a middle name).

  18. She is perfect! And I agree, she looks just like Richard. I am so happy for him, he deserves for her to look just like him. Love her name. No one has ever been a cuter Alice! But I would have to call her Loralee, it really suites her. I have one girl, Nadalynn Rayne, and 3 boys, Jesse Cain, Judson Wayne (Jud), and Rhetton Payne (Rhett) ❤️ Much love for each of you!
