Welcome Home Baby Girl!!!

We are ever so happy and blessed to welcome Makayla Faith into our family.
She was born on November 10 at 3:50 pm weighing 7 lbs and 14 ozs and measuring 20 3/4 inches long.

Makayla's first time at home outside of Mom's tummy.



Enjoying time with Daddy

We left Andrew at my parents and then showed up with baby Makayla without telling them, it was a lot of fun to surprise them. :)

Good Morning Sweetheart!!

Makayla came rather quickly. :) I had been having short contractions the day before but Thursday morning I really didn't have any. Then at 11 am my water broke, I thought it would still be awhile before we needed to leave home so I didn't bother calling Josh, but by the time that he came in for lunch I was having 1 min. contractions about 2 mins apart so we decided to leave right away. :) We got to Morden at 1:20 and my midwives got there 15 mins later. By then I was 9 cm. and at around 3 I started pushing, 50 mins later we were able to hold our miracle in our arms. She started nursing right away and 2 hours later we left for home. It was a wonderful birth, so different from Andrew's and an answer to prayer.
We want to thank all of you from the bottom our hearts for all the prayers you have prayed for us in the past 9 months. We felt your prayers and know that by them we were able to put our complete trust in God.
