Aurora Grace! Born on November 17th at 5:26 p.m. Weighing in at a surprising 8 pounds 2 ounces, and is 21 1/4 inches tall.
Here is our little Rory, fresh outta the hatch.
Grandpa and Grandma, Rory and one very relieved, happy Mommy.
My best friend, Melissa, who works up in labor and delivery was able to be there for the birth.
Luscious lips and lots of hair.
Just hanging out in our room, waiting to go home.
Our CNA called her a “Sugar Bear” which I thought was super cute.
I will have more pictures and the whole birth story later on.
I also wanted to thank you all for your prayers and kind words about my bonus mother-in-law Cheryl. She is no longer with us, and we believe she is in a much better place now. Cheryl was an admirer of eagles, and as her husband, my father-in-law, Brad said, “the eagle is now soaring.” We do and will miss her tremendously though, and could certainly still use your prayers as we all grieve together.
