On Tuesday July 28, 2009 a new joy entered our life at 11:03pm. Her name, Emily Ruth Alton. She weighed 8 lbs. 10oz. and measured 19 1/2 inches long. She is simple beautiful and healthy and precious in every way. A great eater and pretty mellow (for now). Everything went very well with the birth. There were some concerns with my placenta bleeding, so we ended up at the hospital to have her instead of the home birth we planned, but it was a good decision and we are grateful to our midwife and doula for their help in making the birth experience everything we wanted in a setting that wasn't planned. The nurses were pretty nice too and Dr. Chalmers was the one to help deliver her...he was pretty cool too with letting us do our thing and just helping as needed. It was a beautiful experience and we are grateful to have her here with us! I will post pictures and more info. later when I have a minute or two....because I've already used up the one that I had today :) Lots of love to everyone for their support and love and well wishes. I feel angels, seen and unseen, helping us out!!!

And I feel like I'm holding an angel every time I take her in my arms!!! How blessed are we to have her in our lives?
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! Please post pictures of the angel!
Congratulations Cuz! I know, you are thinking, "I never hear from you". Well, I'm trying to change somethings in life, with family. I saw a picture of your daughter on Hopes blog and she is beautiful. I love little babies. They are just fun to cuddle with. I didn't realize this till a little bit ago, that you live back at your home where you were young. I would love to come see you guys and see the place. I haven't been there since I was about 18. Take care and enjoy your precious little angel while you can. They grow quickly. Contact me anytime at brian.mclaws@vacationclub.com
