Yes, we know she's beautiful. :)



Sunday night at 9:58 pm, our baby was born. It's a girl! We've named here Cassie Hope. She was 6 lbs. 9 0z., 20 1/2 in. long. The Lord blessed us with a short labor (4 hours) and I was able to do it without medication. I had hoped to but wasn't so determined that I had made up my mind against the option. I'm just glad it worked out and the Lord strengthened me. It was the best birth experience out of all the others, probably the shortness had a lot to do with it. :)
The older kids are with an aunt and uncle at McDonald's for a lunch date and Mom and Matt are visiting while I'm typing. Cassie is happily snoozing cuddled up next to me in the new baby sling.
When my brain works better (i.e. when I get more sleep) I'll post a better message. This was mainly to get some pics of baby girl on here. Thanks for all the prayers. We love this new little bundle of sweetness.

Oh, Rose, what sweetness! My favorite picture is of Cami holding Cassie. I know Cami will be a great help to you with her new little sister.
Hope you are recovering nicely. You're a pro at this thing. (:

About Me

My photo
I'm a Southern gal raised in MS, married to my sweet Matt from MO, the busy mamma to 4 (soon to be 5)young children. I'm realizing more all the time how I am helpless to do anything for Christ on my own. Yet when I yield myself to Him and ask for His wisdom and His power to be the wife, mom, and woman of God He wants me to be I am amazed at how He gives it. And I'm finally beginning to really understand worship as more than a church service.
