Welcome to our world little Lyla Jane!!

God brought our beautiful and tiny bundle on Saturday July 25th at 2:41am! She gets to share a birthday with Lola Zeljih and Uncle Tony! Thank the Lord the labor was very short and some-what manageable. I had contractions and such all day on Friday, but with no consistency or progression. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, as this was very different to both labors with the boys where I woke up in full labor! But I did feel like it would be anytime. So at midnight I woke up with intense pains, but still no regular contractions...I had Thomas call the Dr. and ask they thought I should come in. They said yes. So we called our dear friend Kim to come get the boys. She arrived about 12:30 and we left the house at about 12:45. By this time I am now in full labor with very consistent and strong contractions about every 3-4 mins, good thing I called...We arrived at Stevens a little after 1am and dear Lyla Jane was born with a total of 2 pushes at 2:41am!! And was I shocked when they told me she only weighed 7lbs. 15oz.!! I was definitely expecting a bit larger than that considering the boys were 9.4 and 9.11! All of us are thoroughly enjoying our beautiful little "darling" as her dear Papa has been calling her :) Even Ethan has warmed up to the idea of a little "baby honey" in the house. Every time she fusses Ethan and Elijah both come running to her rescue! It is so cute to watch them with her. Praise the Lord for a complication-free delivery and a wonderful healthy baby daughter! God is so good!
