HALLELUJAH!



As most of you know already, Emily Rose Bailey was born (or borned according to her sister) yesterday at 11:01 AM. 8 lbs. 6 oz., 20.5 inches long. As you can see, she is absolutely beautiful! There was no internet connection at the hospital or trust me, I would have blogged much sooner.

We are home now just a little over 24 hrs. since her birth. That is a testament to how strong my wife is, how low the baby was, how well the drugs worked and how much Stephanie HATES being in the hospital. Em and Big Sister Rainey are getting acquainted as are Emily and Ike the Super Weenie Dog.

We are so incredibly blessed to have healthy kids and friends and family who love us and have prayed us through the last couple of years. Thank you so much and thanks be to God the Father who loves us no matter what and who will not give us up!

I think she looks A LOT like Rainey. Well--she couldn't help it seeing as how your John and Stephanie's dad were identical twins separated at birth.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I AM NOT THERE!!!!! ARGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!! We love you!!!

Can she come to the airport Sunday night??????
