We welcomed Avelyn Faith into our family on August 29th (my due date!!). She was born at 3:49 in the afternoon, weighing 7 lbs 14 oz and she was 21 inches long. I had an incredibly easy labor (up until the delivery part :D) and we were just so shocked that she was actually here before she was 2 weeks overdue. Nathan didn't actually believe me that I was in labor and when the labor stalled as soon as we got to the hospital I know he really thought I was crazy! She is a little beauty and a very good baby (so far). The children love her so much and Jayna's face was priceless when she saw her. Roanen loves her as long as I'm not holding her or feeding her, then he would rather push her out of the way, but I'm sure he will adjust quickly. We chose the name Avelyn Faith because the meanings together mean "life of faith" and that is what we are praying for her.
She loves to look at her daddy and already has him wrapped around her finger.
Jayna was quite happy that the dr was right that she was indeed a girl!!

Quaider looks like such a little man holding his little sister.
Roanen just laughs every time he holds her. We are so thankful for everyone's prayers about the safe delivery and healthy baby, God is so good!!
