Our Newest Miracle!




HOORAY!!!! Little Leilah made her appearance into this world May 5th at 1:07 pm! She was 4 weeks early but weighed 6 lbs even and was 19 inches long, which is great for being so early! She didn't have enough stored up sugar so she needed to be in the Special Care unit for a few days with an IV and lots of wires and buttons which was incredibly stressful. (All those moms that go through that for weeks and months I am in awe of you!) But she's a good little eater so she is home and healthy now :) Everything with the adoption went smoothly and our gratitude to our birthparents is beyond words; they truly are the most loving and selfless people in the world, we love them so much!

We are completely in love with little Leilah and take every opportunity to give her tons of hugs and kisses! Hallie is doing great too :) Yesterday we were in the living room when she said, "Daddy I need to go potty, you stay here and guard Leilah."

So here is our sweet little girl :)


Hayden may not love this picture, but I do :) He's a good daddy :) :)




Mother's Day with the best gifts in the world!!!



So we did have another little stressful moment.. We got a call right before we were going in to do the placement with the birthparents that Hallie fell and hit her head and might need to go to the ER. We didn't want her to have a horrible scar so we call a friend that's an amazing plastic surgeon and he scheduled us for the next day. We went into the ER then the OR and Hallie got several stitches under the skin and 13 on top. Crazy day that's for sure, but now it's over and we're all doing great ;)
