anna lauren | birth

I walked into Lauren's bedroom after getting the call that the baby would be here in the next few hours and I was wondering if she was even in labor?!! Handling every contraction like a champ, from the moment contractions started to the moment Anna Lauren took her first breath... This room was filled with so much love. Although Matt and Lauren's youngest son slept through the entire delivery (in the bed right next to them... he deserves an award), their two oldest boys stayed awake until midnight when Anna was born... too excited to sleep in hopes of meeting their baby sister at any moment. I loved watching Jacob, Matthew, and Owen's reactions as they held Anna, not being able to wipe the smile off their faces. Their lives were changed forever as these three boys now have a little girl to take care of. Just so happy for the Cattie family. <3
