Us

This is us at the hospital.  

We are over the moon that you are here and we are together!

Welcome baby girl

Dear baby girl,  

you are 5 lbs 4 oz and have strawberry blonde hair :)  

You were born at 3:05pm.  

We are so happy to be writing this!  We finally arrived at Holmes Hospital in Melbourne at 10pm and Cindy met us in the lobby.   She had a long day of labor that began early in  the morning, and our day of traveling began early as well.  But you would never know this.  All of us could not have been happier to be together on this day and be there for you!  You are all bundled up in a cozy swaddle and very sleepy.

November 12

This is your birthday!  You decided you were ready to meet the world today.  We got the call that you were coming early so grabbed our bags, packed strollers and car seats, Wesley and Nana, and  began our journey to you.  Cindy let us know you were on your way and you were coming fast :)  She said you made up your mind this was the day!  She continues to amaze us with her strength and kindness.  We boarded the plane in this photo knowing that we would be with you soon.  Nana and Wesley were truly good sports and kept up with our fast pace so another minute was not wasted.

Butterflies for our baby girl

As we get closer to baby girl's arrival, we are busy planning the most magical nursery ~ a room full of butterflies ~~ butterflies on the wall, a butterfly night light and colorful butterfly garland :)  imagine all those butterflies watching over you while you sleep in your cozy crib.

Two more months!

You are due to arrive in two months and Cindy is taking good care of you.  She says you're moving around and kicking alot!  She is happy to know you will be loved beyond words, and that you will grow up running around in the country.  And she is sure you will be a blondie :)

Our family in the making!

I love this picture. 

This is our family in the making.  We all visited with Cindy and spent the day together.  We talked a lot about our hopes and dreams for you, and our own experiences, interests and plans for the future.  We are humbled by the strength and courage Cindy has and know you will have the same!
