On December 18, at four past five in the afternoon, my darling daughter finally met her baby brother and forever friend, Sean.
💜
Sean was born weighing 3.9 kilograms or 8.6 pounds after eight long hours of labor. So glad to have him out!
💜
I’ll just be taking a few weeks of a much-needed break to be the best mama I can be to these two beautiful souls so I won’t be posting much. But I’ll definitely catch you later... #teachermama #momoftwo ... See MoreSee Less
