Valentines Day, 2009

Well, it finally happened. Our little valentine jewel arrived fast and furious and as beautiful as a baby can be.


A few minutes old.


Grace Hisako Laurie (pronounced Heesako Laree) decided to make her appearance into this world on Valentines Day, 2009 at 1:48 in the morning. What a whirl wind of a time it was for Scott and I as I went into labor and delivered the baby within about 7 hours. Now you may say, "oh that's a fairly typical labor", but when you compare it to her brother's arrival she was, as I said, fast and furious. Her brother decided he was going to come at his own precious time with a timed delivery of 18 hours!!! At any rate, we are fully in love with this little girl and her brother seems to be pretty infatuated too.



August & Grace



Look at all that hair!!
We're still working on the feeding schedule and sleeping at night, but she seems to be a pretty content and laid back baby, only crying when she's hungry and when she needs to be changed. Although I'm thinking she may have a few gassy issues, but we'll see. All in time, all in time.
Scott and I didn't have much of a "romatic" Valentines Day, but it sure was an eventful day. We didn't sleep much of course, but are so glad God blessed us with a healthy and precious baby girl. We couldn't ask for more. I haven't been able to put into words all that happened that day, but maybe I will be able to some day.
Until another time when I have more time, I'm signing off!!!
