A VERY Welcome Addition!

On January 23, 2009 in the late afternoon, my niece Birdie Emma was born. She was very healthy and very petite!

This was nothing new to me. I had been to the birth (not in the room at the time) of Blaze and Belle, in which both were equally exciting to be a part of. Birdie was no exception. I arrived at the hospital with Blaze and Belle in tow. None of us could wait to get up to the room, but it was all about the "hurry up and wait" factor... ha ha ha! So we talked, watched tv, and played with toys till the contractions got crazy and they kicked Blaze and me out of the room. Belle was sleeping like a bear in hibernation in the recliner in the corner of the room. She slept through it all. Meanwhile, Blaze and I are out in the hall way listening through the door left ajar. Granted this is NOT where you are supposed to wait... we break rules! He was so excited to be a big brother again, pure joy was illuminating from eyes and smile! I love seeing that. And he is an awesome big brother, there's no doubt about that!

She finally arrived in the late afternoon and she was beautiful! Her big sister was gently awakened to discover her new baby sister, which she loves very much.

I never knew how much you could really love someone untill the birth of these three kids. They are the sun and the moon, and the air that I breathe.
