Grace is here!

Gracie is finally here! She is so beautiful. She was born on August 25th at 2:30pm. After all the worry from doctors that she was going to be a small baby, she surprised us all by weighing 7lbs 15oz! It must have been from all that extra cooking time! I was scheduled for an indcution on the 25th but when I woke up to go to the hospital I found I was already starting labor on my own. It was such an answer to prayer because I really didn't want to be induced. The labor was exteremly painful but it's amazing how you forget the feeling! I also lucked out because she came so fast, the doctor barely got there in time. Levi and I are both just so in awe of her. We never want to put her down and sometimes fight over who gets to hold her. I usually win because I have the food. Levi is already asking me when I'll start pumping so he can feed her...he's a little jealous. She such a easy baby... so far. I know that could easily change but we rarely hear her cry. She is very content and alert. It is such an amazing feeling to know she is mine. I never knew it was possible to love this much. It's amazing how God lets us experience this type of unconditional love, the way he loves us.

Proud Daddy

First trip out....going to the doctor





She has these cute accidental smiles, they're hard to get on camera though.
