John Paul

John Paul Stevens
Born June 17, 2013 at the Birth Center, Wilmington, DE
7 lb 10 oz and 20 inches

At the Birth Center, we were allowed to hold and nurse John Paul for an hour before the nurses stepped in to take his vitals.

7+ pounds of love!

Mommy got to hold John Paul for nine months.  Now it is Daddy's turn!



Liz was hoping for a daytime birth with the midwife Dorinda (pictured above).  She was blessed to have both!  Dorinda founded the Birth Center almost two decades ago.
Dawn's first day as a delivery nurse, and John Paul, her first baby!
It was a happy and safe birth for both Mom and Baby.


Ready to ride home!
The older kids were asleep when we arrived home.  Angeline had kept herself awake, and absolutely fell in love with John Paul that night, hugging him and patting his head.

Grand-daddy and John Paul.


Angeline is in love with her baby brother and demands to hold him before everyone else.






Finally, Olivia gets a chance.  Olivia sang sweetly to John Paul and actually put him to sleep.  Meanwhile, Angeline looks on.




John Paul and Logan.  Logan is thankful to have a brother!




After helping out all day, Grandma finally gets a chance to hold the new baby.
