Baby Jacey Arrives!

I got the phone call I had been waiting for bright and early Monday morning. Johnny was letting me know Erin was in labor!! I quickly woke up and got myself ready to leave. I had to take Aaron over to Johnny's to stay with their dog, Munstar. I met up with Johnny and Erin at the hospital around 11:00am. I was so blessed to be a part of their birth and I feel so very honored to have been able to help. It was a long day and at 6:37pm, Jacey Ann was born via c-section. She weighed 8 pounds and 12 ounces and was 21 inches long. She is just beautiful and I am so excited to have a new little niece to love!!

Johnny went back to be with Erin, and I stayed at the nursery window with Jacey for a while.

One tired daddy!

The next morning, Erin was more awake and ready to hold her baby girl.

First family picture.....so sweet.

So alert!

Hello Daddy!

Sweet baby girl!

I went home and took a quick nap and then headed back to the hospital with Aaron and Kristen. Kristen was so excited to finally meet Jacey.

While we were there, we got Jacey changed into her own clothes and she looked so pretty in pink!

Then she got to meet Aaron!

We headed home for the night. Wednesday morning, Randy was scheduled to have his second eye surgery. After his surgery we went back to the hospital. They were released to go home so I took Randy back home, and called Stephanie to run me back to the hospital to drive them home in their car.

Little Sleeping Princess!

On the way home!!

At home in her bassinet!

Randy and the kids came to pick me up and Ian and Momo were thrilled with their new cousin.

We are all so happy to finally have Jacey here!! She is so precious!

A Sweet New Baby!!

I just can't resist sharing pictures of this sweet new baby girl!! My cousin gave birth to her first baby last Tuesday afternoon. Kristen, Ian and I went to visit them on Saturday afternoon. Here is Jordyn Kayleigh, the newest member of our family. She is so sweet!!

This is how she was when we arrived.....

Sleeping soundly....

It didn't take long until I couldn't stand it anymore and had to pick her up for some snuggles!! Ian wasn't so sure at first but then he didn't want me to take her out of his lap.

Me just enjoying the sweet babyness!!

Of course Kristen was just itching to get her hands on Jordyn too.

Time to wake up baby! She has a broken collar bone from birth so they are keeping her arm close to her body by keeping it inside her shirt for a few days while it heals. She kept trying to pop that little hand out though!

Pretending she wasn't awake...

So funny!! It looks like she is saying..." Hahaha, I am fooling you"

Not so happy about getting a diaper change now.

Ok...it is all better now!!

How precious is she?

One more snuggle before I left. I fed her a bottle while I was there too.

There is nothing more precious than a newborn babe.....aaaahhhhh, it is like holding a little piece of heaven in my arms.
