~ 1.9.2011 ~

Ainsley Jae born at 4:28 pm
9 lbs ~ 20.5 inches
Mom & Dad call me their "Little Triangle Baby".  I rarely spent any of my "womb time" in the correct position, so why start after being born. I rarely default to the standard "fetal position" instead I opt for a more comfy sprawled out position.
1.12.2011 ~ Here I am all ready to go home from the hospital.


I have accounted for the events that led up to her arrival, but at this point all of the hours & discomfort pail in comparison to that moment when Travis announced to the surgery suite that the fruit I had been carrying for all those weeks was a healthy baby girl. My tears began not too long after that & didn't really stop for a few days after we got home. Some of those tears were irrational hormonal tears, but most of them were my "Spirit Tears". I am not typically a crier, so really early on I learned that tears were the physical manifestation that Heavenly Father provided, so that I would pay more attention & REALIZE that I was feeling The Spirit.
What an AMAZING experience this has been thus far! We are truly grateful for this opportunity to be parents. Ainsley has been such a joy to have in our home! Since it took me so long to do this post, I hope to have another up for you real soon, but alas me & my one free hand are still getting up to speed.
