Life's blessings

The smallest little blessing can mean a lifelong change. This little girl is just that. She will forever change the life of my sister. From the moment we knew she was coming we all felt joy, but it was laced with the mixed emotion of fear. Just a small fear because our faith won't let us doubt for too long. I am thankful for the amazing God I have in my life. Thank you for staying at my sisters side because I know you were the one there with a hand on her shoulder and with your grace she brought this beautiful child into this world. A few scares along the way, but even though I didn't feel any of it, I know by looking at my sisters expression that Evanni is all worth it! Worth the pain, worth the tears and worth the 37 weeks of high risk pregnancy that she endured, because it was not easy. 

This little blessing is an angel. She is proving to be a diva, but one that will have us all wrapped around her finger. Welcome home Evanni! 

Happy birthday Evanni!

Almost 24 hours after your mama was induced you arrived. With about 15mins of painful pushing -you decided you weren't going to wait any longer and to everyone's surprise, even the doctor and nurses, you came quickly!! Weighing in at 6lbs 8oz and 19 inches long. 

Here you are with your grandma and great grandma! 

Just me and you! All bundled up! 

You look just like your daddy! 

24 hour photo, you can see the small changes already in just one day! 

Your newborn sized clothes fit you a little big, I went to go buy you preemie sizes and those fit you snug! Eat a little more baby girl! 

Tia loves you! 

6.2.13 @6pm

Mama is 1.5cm dilated, which means you are coming, but slowly. However, the contractions are getting stronger for her. 

We have a poll to see how long til you are here.. So far these are our guesses. 

It's now noon

Mom checked in at 9am. She has been having contractions... They are about 9mins apart now. I could hear you hiccuping inside your mama's tummy.It's such   an amazing thing. I'm excited because I get to stay and see you come into this world. Unless you come by c-section. 

You are having a ball inside mama's tummy. Moving around. Cleaning house I guess cause you will be leaving the home in your mama's tummy soon.  So pack your bags and leave it nice and tidy for your future sibling. 

Countdown begins

Will it be hours or days? We don't know. However long it takes for you to make a healthy entrance into this world we will be ready! We had a family breakfast this morning with your mama and daddy before they headed to the hospital. I went home after to wait for a call to let me know you were on your way, but guess what? I'm here. At the hospital. I just couldn't sit still at home. I don't know if they are nerves or excitement! Funny story. Your mom just called and I confessed to her that I was already here and she said she wasn't surprised because our mom, your grandma, had just walked in too!!! We must think alike. 

Here is our family . . . Minus your TiO Juan cause he was working. 

We will take a new one, once you are here. 

Side note: mom and dad just had a tiny discussion about where you will go to school. You'll be a REDCAT. Mom says! 

To be continued. Tia needs to charge her battery. 

Here's what mama's feet look like, little chubbies!!!
