Eden Rose Kim was born on March 21, 2018 at 1:15am after 24 long hours of labor.  She weighed 6 pounds and 11 ounces and was 18 inches long.

I’ll never forget the moment I first took her into my arms and brought her in for a hug against my chest.  That particular moment happened in a flurry: her head had nearly made its whole way out, and then finally, once her head squeeeezed through, the rest of her body literally SLIPPED out and seconds later, my husband was handing her slippery little body over to me!

Here she is, after an hour of skin-to-skin time, all swaddled up and ready to sleep:

And at Day 2 of LIFE!:

Conoon and I are working on writing her birth story, though honestly, it’s taking us a while…  More updates on Eden and mommyhood coming soon =)
