Time goes by so fast, seems like just yesterday we were making the announcement that we were expecting another little baby… and now she is one week old. Alison Jean was born at 1:26pm on June 22nd 2009 – we are so proud to announce she is not only absolutely beautiful but perfect in every way. We have been blessed yet again.
Jared and Gracee waited patiently in the waiting room at St. Lukes with Papa Kenny and Memaw Donna. They got to come in one last time and talk to baby Ali through my belly button. Everyone ate lunch and played with play-doh then next thing you know Alison was here. Alison weighed 8lbs 13.5oz and is 21 inches long, she is so pretty and tiny compared to her brother and sister.
Jared went to his bio-moms on Tuesday and came back home after his t-ball game Wednesday night. Gracee on the other hand didn’t get to meet Alison again until Thursday afternoon. She stayed with Memaw Donna and Papa Kenny but kept running a fever of 100+ and couldn’t come around the newborn baby until we found out what was wrong. Finally after a long wait we were all back together again, everyone is still trying to get used to the change a new baby brings to a family, but we couldn’t be more happier.
It is really hard to believe that she is already a week old. Jared loves to baby sit his new sister and Gracee cant help but kiss her every time she can. They are so funny around her and usually don’t start to act jealous until they get tired or aren’t getting enough attention from daddy.
Life is good. I feel great (a little tired) and Jessy is soooo busy right now with fixing everyone’s A/C we haven’t had much time to do any updates. We have such a great support system it is amazing – tons of volunteers willing to take one or more of the older kids to let us rest or just get a little extra bonding time with Ali.
