Baby Sent from Heaven!

My sister Tiffany had a beautiful baby girl this morning at 10:49 AM. She weighed 7 lbs 4 oz - bigger than we all expected since Tiff had such a small belly. She was 19 in. and as you can see, she is such a precious little one.
Yesterday Tiff went to the Dr's and she was progressing and he thought it would happen soon. Last night we went to see The Forgotten Carols and Tiffany was starting to have some contractions and sure enough she really started laboring around 2 AM. My parents got a call around 6:00 and woke me to let me know there was a baby on the way. I was too excited to sleep, so I quickly got ready and went to the hospital to be with Tiff. Paul did a great job coaching her through everything and Tiff was amazing. She was so tired and in lots of pain. I am amazed at the whole process of giving birth. Its truly a miracle. Its hard to explain all that a mother goes through to get a baby here, and that is just the beginning of it all!
I just wanted to sit in the hospital and hold this little girl all day, but I thought I'd better get home and take care of my own babies. I am still in Utah and I was worried that I wouldn't get to see Tiff and Paul's baby before I left, so I feel very blessed. I have so much catching up to do since we've been taking lots of pictures, but I had to skip right to this post because its extra special! Now Kaitlyn has a little cousin to play princesses with!

Congratulations to both you & them! I always love seeing a new daddy's smiling face...especially when he's the daddy of a baby girl. Enjoy your trip to UT, as well. Wish I could see you.

You're an Aunt. Congrats. I'm glad you got to be there. Did you watch the birth? It's good that you had got to be there...so does it mean since your visiting you aren't going to be there for Christmas. We are planning on being in SLC (driving so depends on the weather).
