Eden Kahealani Robins was born on September 7, 2013 weighing in at 8 lbs 1 ounce.
The moment she came into this world she stole our hearts with her beauty and sweetness.
She is simply amazing.
Here's a quick rundown of Eden's birth story. I had been having contractions for what seemed like forever, on and off for at least a couple weeks. By the time real labor hit I was racing to get in the birthing tub. Labor was about 4 hours and I pushed for about 15-20 minutes and she was here. Like her brother, she was also born in the caul. I think she tried to show him up by getting here so quickly once labor start.
As always I'm so thankful for my sweet friend Beth for not only helping me through labor but helping me through those tough last few weeks of my pregnancy. She's incredible.
One of my favorite parts about Eden's birth was having Ian in the birthing tub with me. He was such a comfort and a pillar of strength that I literally clung onto when pushing Eden out.
*Disclaimer* if you get grossed out easily you may want to skip the next picture.
After every home birth we always get to look at the placenta and hear cool facts about it and if we want to we can touch it too. Lily and Daniel wanted to right away but Bubba said no a couple times. Then out of nowhere he was suddenly interested. He now knows what the different sides of the placenta are called. And that was his science lesson for the day.

Hooray for new baby pictures! So glad that everything went well. I am so impressed with Brandon for getting in there and examining the placenta like that. What brave kids you have (braver than their Uncle Pat I reckon).
So glad she finally came! She is wonderful and you are one STRONG woman for sure!!! You amaze me!! It is so cool you were able to have Ian in the tub with you, what a great gift considering all you had to endure beforehand (weeks and weeks beforehand...) Seriously, you are amazing! Love you girl!
