Sooooo we had a baby about 40 hours ago! But those that read this blog probably already knew that. :) Everything went super smooth, it was all fast and problem-free, and everyone is doing great! Seriously THANK YOU to all of you who have left sweet comments, texts, calls, visits, and lifted us up in prayer through this journey. It's been a rocky pregnancy from start to finish and our family has been on one heck of an emotional/spiritual/physical roller coaster throughout it, but in the end, God remains faithful to provide and we experienced the indescribably JOY of welcoming our sweet baby Adelynn Faith into our earthly little family a few days ago.
I have a handful of things I could talk about that stood out over these past few days including some actual L/D specifics and the "Story" per say, Lincoln and Noah's response (especially Lincoln's - we were blown away with how smitten he is!), glimpses of little Adelynn and what we are learning about her, and of course some pictures. :)
But for now I'll leave you with a "How you know it's your third child" story.
So we were packed and ready to leave exactly 24 hours from her being born. We put her in the back, I jumped in front, and we jetted off to grab my prescriptions. Did we then start the 30 min trek home?
No.
We were hungry and so were my parents, so we met them for dinner at none other than the West Siloam Casino Buffet.
Yes. I just admitted that Adelynn's first stop home from the hospital was there.
The boys have gone to stay with Jason's parents for the week on their own little "vacation" and Jason and I spent about 20 minutes yesterday planning all the things were going to do this week while they are gone.
We have a matinee of Avengers planned (cause Adelynn will basically just sleep through it and if not, I'll feed her and she will), talked about cooking out steaks and having some friends over, meeting other friends for lunch we haven't connected with in a while, how now would be a good time to get some things on our Expedition fixed since the boys were away, some date nights, and lots of naps and cuddles in between. It's so funny because having an infant while the boys are away kind of feels like a little vacation to us too.
I'll let you know if we're ignorant in this. :)
Now I'm going to go steal my baby girl from her daddy. :) Yall have a good weekend!

Congratulations!!! She is absolutely beautiful and you look wonderful! Enjoy this sweet time with your girl and husband :)
I just adore her! I can't wait to see her again...love you guys!
That's awesome, Melissa! We were kind of the same way this time around. I didn't really skip a beat with all of our social activities...Rhett just came along! Now that we're six weeks out it is getting a bit more difficult since he's more alert and doesn't sleep through everything quite like a newborn does, so I don't think you're ignorant at all...just milk this week for all it's worth! :)
