The wait is over......I'm an Aunt!

Aaliyah was born 5 days late on February 25th at 3:36 p.m by an unplanned c-section. Rachel is doing great and was a real trooper through this whole ordeal. Aaliyah weighs 7lbs 14oz and is 20 inches long. She has beautiful dark skin and tons of beautiful black hair! She is a sweet little baby! Aaliyah after her bath.

Bella loves her new cousin...but looks a little confused...she's not sure if it's a big doll or....

Congrats! She is beautiful! Welcome to mommy-dome and the c-section club! I am coming out this summer for 4-6 weeks! I hope you and I and Requel and hopefully Georgia can all get together with our kiddos! I can't believe we all are mommy's now! We've come a long way from playing house in your basement and greenhouse haven't we? :) Let me know how you are both doing! Lots of Love- Mary Jane

Rachel- I hope that you are doing ok. I had a C-section too! Make sure you lay and rest ALOT!

She is so precious. I love her hair and neck rolls!

You really need to start a blog so that you can post lots of cute pictures of Aaliyah.
