Miss Lydia Eleanor arrived this morning at 9:47.
Words cannot describe....
Mali Rose did a fantastic job.
I have more pictures, but I am tired. She labored all night, then gave birth this morning...the nurse had us guess the weight as she held up that precious baby...and guess what? I was right on the dot, seven pounds ten ounces. She is healthy and robust, and we all cried when she was born.
I came home this afternoon, prepared for a nap, but decided at the last minute to go back to the hospital with Mirielle and some of the kids.
So I am happy and thrilled and proud of Mali...she didn't complain, she was happy to get that baby out, and she nursed her like a pro. It was an amazing day, the birth was awesome. I think I am joining Mali on her baby high:)

OHHHH CONGRATULATIONS MALI---AND GRANDMA AND GRANDPA AND THE WHOLE FAMILY!!! What a beautiful little Angel. I checked back a couple of times yesterday but I figured you were busy loving on that little angel! What a blessing! God bless ya'll!!!
Thank you everyone! It was an awesome experience. Mali thanked me for being there with her, and I told her it was one of the best nights of my life. Of course no mother wants to see her child suffer, and I tell you, I could FEEL those contractions with her...and would have done it for her, if I could have...but other than that, it was awesome. Nothing short of a miracle.
Hi!

Many many congratulations to you and your family.
You look so young in the pictures and are an amazing mom :)
Good wishes

Congratulations! So happy for all of you! I love her name...one of my favorites.
Being a grandmother is incredible. All of the fun, none of the worries!
