lily grace is here!

lily grace arrived at 12:21 p.m. today, safe and sound praise the LORD!
she weighed 7lbs 9oz
20.5 inches long
has nice head of brown hair.
the delivery went well and the Lord definitely was gracious. as she was coming out her umbilical cord tried to come out before her. i had to push quickly and get her out fast or we would have had to do an emergency c-section. but she came out after only 5 minutes of pushing! she hardly cried and has been very peaceful and content. i am doing well and enjoying her. eva also loves her new baby sister and thinks she is so cute, and we agree! okay, i'm tired and just randomly talking. for now here are some pics in no particular order. i'm sure there will be more tomorrow! thanks for all your prayers and well wishes.

  6. CONGRATS!

    Awesome. What an age we live in where you can post this info so quickly after having just given birth.

    That is, unless Shuan was writing as "Danielle."

  9. Yeah!!! Your pics made me cry! She is absolutely beautiful and what a perfect pouty girl face she has. All babies are a blessing from God, but I'm thankful that Lily is perfect and healthy. Enjoy each moment with her, Eva and Shaun, they are precious and fly by all too quickly.
    We love you,

    Congratulations! She is adorable - beautiful coloring and I love the brown hair. You guys are very blessed. Thank you for sharing your journey and thoughts through this fun-to-read blog! We will pray for a restful hospital stay (if that's possible!) and a smooth transition home to a family of 4!

    She looks PERFECT!!! And Eva already looks like she is being a GREAT Big Sister!

    While she has her mother's beautiful skin, I do believe I have seen that pained expression on her maternal Grandfather's face!

  23. Is it me or is she crying in almost every picture, even though you said she "hardly cries at all". : )

    Even still, congratulations! So happy for you guys. Maybe we'll get to meet both of your girls soon!
