A Miracle Performed!

One week ago today we experienced quite a miracle in our little family. Bracken Gregory Holm was born. I can't even begin to describe the feeling I felt when I held our little boy. Tears filled my eyes and joy filled my heart. The miracle of birth is truly a gift from God. Greg and I are so grateful for the birth of our son. There were some scary moments during the delivery but with faith, prayer and priesthood blessings we were able to deliver Bracken with minimal complications.

Labor began Thursday morning at 6 am and didn't end until Friday at 2:30 pm. Yes almost 33 hours! My sweet Mom stayed up with me through the night. We will never forget the Royal Wedding and what we were doing at the time.....fighting through each contraction! 

Here are some pictures of our journey!

  3. Wow that was a long labor and delivery! It is so hard knowing you are so close, but you just have to wait. I thought my 16 hours was long but a day and a half! Nice work and it looks like he was totally worth it. What a happy moment. Congrats!
