Still smitten + in awe of the fact that this precious little girl was just inside of me 6 days ago. πŸ˜­βœ¨πŸ’• Tears were welling up in my eyes as we listened to the playlist of worship songs that got me through all of the intense contractions + delivery. I’m just so grateful for the amazing nurses + especially my doctor, for helping me have the best birth experience. It turned out sooo much better than Hope’s birth, even though both girls had to be delivered early, by induction, because they measured so small (I make small babies lol). But praise the Lord for giving me enough strength to deliver them unmedicated, like I desired, + to have Grace unexpectedly delivered in the water while powerful worship songs were playing. It was so redemptive. Every time Grace lays on my chest, and I kiss her little head, the memories flood back of that first moment when she came out + was placed upon my chest. Words can’t describe the feeling + just relief, after all of those hours of work, to having your child finally in your arms. It’s absolutely insane. I truly do have my hands full now, and being present at home is my top priority. But I can’t wait to share some more sweet memories with you all! πŸ˜˜βœ¨πŸ’•Still smitten + in awe of the fact that this precious little girl was just inside of me 6 days ago. πŸ˜­βœ¨πŸ’• Tears were welling up in my eyes as we listened to the playlist of worship songs that got me through all of the intense contractions + delivery.

These days + moments with my family have been so sweet, yet are going by so fast. ✨I barely have a chance to check my phone. But being P R E S E N T is the sweetest + best gift for them + myself. So excuse me while I soak up the moments with my little newborn sleeping on my chest + 2 yr old cuddling with me + tending to her little sissy’s needs. It’s just too sweet. 😭 πŸ™ŒπŸΌβœ¨πŸ’–πŸŒΏThese days + moments with my family have been so sweet, yet are going by so fast. ✨I barely have a chance to check my phone.

GRACE ADUNNI (One who is sweet to have) OGUNBA, graced us with her sweet little presence at 8:35am on July 7, 2018; weighing just 5.6lbs + is 19 inches long!!! πŸ‘‘βœ¨ πŸŽ€ The #OgunbaClan is officially a family of 5 + we have been enjoying this sweet time with her. πŸ’– I’m still in awe of God’s redemptive grace, allowing her to be born on the day my father passed away, 27 years ago. I came into this induction believing God that my delivery would be shorter than last time, but God's timing is always better for us; not realizing that this one had to be longer in order for her to be born on 7/7. Words can’t articulate how blessed I feel. 😭 πŸ™πŸΌ β€’ Thank you Jesus for giving me the desires of my heart: from the delivery, recovery, + to now, holding baby #2. Having another beautiful soul to love is just a reminder of your amazing gift of LIFE + the specific purpose we are all placed here for. May my baby Grace walk in your unearned, divine assistance, + special favor that’s been placed upon her life. πŸ™ŒπŸΌβœ¨ πŸ’• (So if you don’t see much of me on here, you know what I’ll be consumed with 😍😍😍) #freshbabe #familyof5 #graceadunni #myheart #charityhopephotographyGRACE ADUNNI (One who is sweet to have) OGUNBA, graced us with her sweet little presence at 8:35am on July 7, 2018; weighing just 5.6lbs + is 19 inches long!!! πŸ‘‘βœ¨ πŸŽ€ The #OgunbaClan is officially a family of 5 + we have been enjoying this sweet time with her. πŸ’– I’m still in awe of God’s redemptive grace, allowing her to be born on the day my father passed away, 27 years ago.

Nothing has taught me more about life, than when life is growing inside of me. The joys, challenges, sacrifices, excitements, smiles, tears; it all has a purpose. And when you follow through, till the end, the joy set before you makes the journey all worth it. Life is such a gift. ✨ I still can't believe God is letting me bring another precious baby girl to cherish + raise in this world. I'm in awe every day when I look at my sweet, first born, Hope, + can't believe I was able to participate in her beautiful creation. 🌿 So here is just a little glimpse of the intimate maternity session I envisioned having with her, as we have our last bit of time together, just the two of us, before my arms will be filled with two. πŸ’• #maternityshoot #38weekspregnant #charityhopephotography Big thanks to @elvigghairandmakeupstudio for making me feel beautiful + rejuvenated, and being so hospitable to my daughter + I. And big thank you to my dear friend, @anniejaehnig , for snapping away as I try to explain what I pictured in my head, all while having a 2 yr old try to cooperate (haha). You both made this happen + I couldn't thank you enough!!! 😘Nothing has taught me more about life, than when life is growing inside of me.
