what an experience.........

i'm back from nz and would you believe i made it to the birth.............while on the plane over my sister went into the hospital and i was hoping to make it, my hands were shaking checking in and while on the plane i was just buzzing......once in nz i went to bed at 11.00pm and got the call at 2.30am to make my way to the hospital......so i was there for the birth.....

i feel so privileged and honoured and to be perfectly honest it was one of the most amazing days of my life, being there for and with my sister and jayden and seeing this little miracle being born, it is totally amazing having a child but this was so so different and hard to explain..

its been over a week and i still feel like i'm on a high, they have 3 little girls darcee, leila and brooklyn and to add to the family a little boy called judah, my eyes still tear up when i think about that very special day, she did so well and jayden was amazing and their midwife shirley has been there for the birth of all four {thats pretty special}......the 3 girls were adorable as ever, i love all their different personalities and their thirst for life, i miss them all already

it's great being back with my boys but wow what a trip.......

i hope you all have had a great few weeks and here are a few extra photos of the day
and their cute complete family

the whole taylor family........too cool

have a wonderful monday and see you here wed for my madeit find
