She's Here! She's Here! She's Here!

Mimi's heart is over-joyed!

Abi woke me up in the middle of the night,

"Did you read the text? Did you read it mom?"  

I had been too konked out to hear the text come in.

Sarah and Tyler were on their way to the hospital...

She was a comin' and she was comin' fast!

Her contractions were already 2 minutes apart.

And the added joy?

Little Miss Treasure was about to be born on 
Abigail's 29th birthday - March 2, 2012.

Abi was somewhere between giggling and crying....
she could hardly contain it...
Seriously, does it get any better than that?  
A niece born on Abi's own birthday!

I giggled with her, "Ab, I knew from the start 
that she was going to be born on your birthday!  
I just knew it!"  Last night as we sat in ER I 
had been texting Sarah.  Sarah was saying 
how uncomfortable she was.  I texted back:  
"One word:  Tomorrow!  Tomorrow!  Tomorrow!"  
I just knew it.  

Beaming and bubbling to introduce:

{Charlotte Rose}
aka 
Charlee Rose
8 lbs{!} 2 oz.
Loved beyond words. 
So thankful you are here precious treasure, so very thankful! 
Can't wait to hold you in our arms...

  28. Oh Linny, she is so incredible precious!! And indeed what a gift for Abi!!! What's really weird is I had been thinking lately that you had never said (that I saw anyway) when the baby was due and so I was thinking on that and actually dreamed last night about the baby...although having no idea in the dream whether she was a boy or girl! CONGRATULATIONS to all!!! Praying Tyler was able to be there for the birth!!! Love and hugs to all!!!

    Love,

    Sarah from Portales
