~It's A Girl~

Yesterday was Ryan’s 26th birthday and it is also the birthday of our 3rd daughter, Laine Brennan. She was born at 8:31 a.m. weighing a whopping 6lbs. 3oz. and she is 18in. of beautiful.

We are so blessed that we made it to 37 weeks and Lainey is a very healthy baby girl. I have not held her yet, but hopefully today I can squeeze my sweet baby. She had to go to the NICU shortly after birth because of some breathing issues. Ryan and our families were able to see her yesterday, but my blood pressure made me to sick to visit her. I will finish my magnesium sulfate medicine around 11 a.m. so hopefully I will feel up to visiting her then and she will be ready to see her mommy as well.

Blythe and Bree are so happy to be BIG sisters, but they were upset yesterday because they did not get to see her. Lainey should be well enough for them to visit today, but there is no doubt she will be tired after her 1st visit with her BIG sisters.

I don’t think Ryan could have a cuter little lady to share his birthday with. He was grinning from ear to ear all day yesterday as he escorted family and friends in and out of the NICU to show off his birthday gift. It is obvious that Ryan is very proud to be the daddy of 3 little girls.

Before you were born, Laine I knew you.

Congratulations! Laine is absolutely beautiful....just like her momma! I'm so happy to hear of her birth and that everyone is doing well! I can't wait to meet her! You and your family will continue to be in my prayers as you adjust to baby number three.

She is precious...what a great gift! I know you are glad that she is finally here, but that she did decide to wait! I hope things go smoothly as you adjust to another little one. I guess it will seem "easy" just having one to take care of!!!

Me- well: I love God! I love people! I love my family! I love my husband! I love being a mom! I love having twins! I love my friends! I love children! I love teaching! I love my church! I love red wine! I love watching my children play! I love summer! I love the beach! I love bonfires! I love the lake! I love to laugh! I have the most wonderful husband- he takes care of me and helps me out when I over commit myself. I love being a mom- twins are great! I hate when people say, "I don't know how you do it!"- I just do what needs to be done. At the end of the day our house may not be clean and the clothes may not get folded and put away, but everyone is safe, fed, and loved. My friends- oh you mean the people I used to hang out with, but never see anymore! Yeah, I love them too. I have learned that God brings all kinds of people into our lives. Some of those people are great friends while you are in school, some are great friends while you are in college, and some are great friends at work or church. Then there are the few- the special friends that stick around for a lifetime. I am so blessed to have so many lifetimers!!!
