Introducing Miss Grace Elaine

Sorry for the delay! We welcomed Grace Elaine on Friday, January 29th at 12:27 pm. She weighed 6lbs 12.2oz and was 19in long. Everyone is doing well, just tired. We are very thankful to have been given this gift, a beautiful, healthy baby girl, and are counting our many blessings.


The last belly picture moments before we left for the hospital.


Dressed and ready for the OR.


Out of recovery and FINALLY I get to hold her!


Our precious baby girl! She looks a lot like her daddy, but when compared to Kate's baby pictures, there is definitely a resemblance there too.


Big sister Kate, who has been sick ever since we got home, so she hasn't been able to hold her again.


We love all the faces she makes when she is sleeping.


A family picture on discharge day. Day 5, we were ready to go home!


Getting ready to leave the hospital. Grace in her beautiful outfit Aunt Boo sent her!


Home at last, hanging out on daddy's chest. She loves sleeping on mine & Andrew's chest. In fact, she prefers this to her co-sleeper (we are working on retraining).


Our sweet baby girl will sometimes sleep in her bouncer. This bouncy seat is a life saver!


Nana Laurie & Papa Homer came to visit from Kansas City.


Our 1st bath, mom did not get the water warm enough, now we love it!


All done!

Now you are caught up to where we are now. I will work on posting more frequently, as Miss Grace seems to be changing and growing daily. Thank you all for your many thoughts and continued prayers. -SR
