Welcome Mayzie!

After much anticipation, our beautiful new addition to our family has arrived! Mayzie came July 16 (9 days overdue) at 6:37 PM! I was so blessed to have such a great pregnancy. I kept thinking I just felt too good to be ready to have a baby. My mom came the Wednesday before, even though we hadn't had her yet but in hopes she would come when my mom was here. Thankfully it worked out that way! I woke up Friday morning, and had a small contraction - at first I thought - is this really a contraction? I did my normal tredmill routine that morning, hoping that if I was in labor that this would help! I continued to have small contractions throughout the morning. Then at around 2:30 they started coming more consistent. By 3:45 Greg was insisting we call the midwife. We went in around 4:30 and she came 2 hours later! What a blessing. Everything went well and we were so happy with the midwife experience! The kids came a couple hours later with my mom, and they were just thrilled. They told me that when we called, they all started chanting, "Mayzie, Mayzie" She is beautiful and so sweet already. She looks a lot like Brenly did to me - light hair, fair skin... so that should mean she will be a cutie!Our beautiful little girl!
One happy family with one happy addition






We think Brenly is proudest of all - she is sooooo excited to have a little sister!
