  • IT'S A GIRL!!!

    She does not yet have a name, but she weighed in at 8 pounds, 6 oz., and is 21 inches long.  Beautiful light red hair like her big sisters - lovely skin - 10 yummy fingers and toes...she is the lovliest thing I have seen in a very long time.

    Love at first sight really.

    I went to the hospital after work, fully expecting to wait in the waiting room until baby was born - but my sweet sister in love asked me to be in the room with them when baby was born....I tell you what - I have been to 10 births in my life, and it never gets old - never less a miracle.  There really are no words - I am blown away.

    I was holding it all together - being all cool and not crying right when she was born - then they put her in my arms and I tried to begin to whisper in her sweet little seashell of an ear how glad I was to meet her - that I have been praying for her - how blessed we are to have her in our lives...and it was over.  Let the waterworks begin.  [Who cares so much about being calm, cool and collected anyway?  This is my neice we are talking about!]

    Yep - she had me at hello.

    God is good.
    I am grateful.
    Pictures soon.

  • Congratulations to all of you!! I noticed when Annie was born that I didn't cry as much as with Aly or Clarke...I don't know why I didn't. Of course, I cried the most with Clarke...he was my first...I guess that's normal. Still I love Annie just as much. I was with Mark's sister and husband when she gave birth to their first and I cried almost as much as they did. WOW! What an amazing event .... even with understanding, it's almost not possible to really comprehend the Awesomeness of God in the whole thing. I feel your Joy, Havah!!! Congratulations, again! Enjoy those yummy toes & fingers now...in a couple of years, yeah...just cheesy fingers and toes. :D
