The night my mommy went to the hospital


Wednesday, June 17th at 10:30pm mommy's water broke and daddy took her to the hospital. They were so excited that the moment was finally here! But they really had to practice their patience because I was not born until 37 1/2 hours later on Friday just before noon.

My first breaths


Daddy helped the midwife deliver me by pulling me out and putting me on mommy's chest! He also announced to her that I was a girl and he seemed so shocked! I was a great surprise because everyone told mommy and daddy that I was going to be a boy.

Yes, my eyes are open and I'm taking it all in! And yes, I have lots of hair too! It's so peaceful here being skin to skin with mommy. I guess she was pretty tired after almost 3 hours of pushing.

GranMa & Uncle Jamie are proud of me!

I'm a big girl! 9 pounds & 21 inches

Daddy is holding me for the first time!


It's about time I get to put a face with his voice! I love you daddy...

The day after I was born, a professional photographer came to my hospital room to take pictures of me for mommy and daddy to have as keepsakes. It was perfect timing because I was getting ready to go home in my very first little outfit!

I got my first phone call in the car on the way home...Grammy called me from Florida to tell me she loved me!
