Lillie

Lillian Grace was born Tuesday, November 17th at 9:50 am. She weighed 5 lbs, 12 oz and was 20 1/2 inches long. We're both overjoyed to have her in our family, and are in awe of this sweet spirit that's been sent to live with us.

Our time in Columbus flew by. We couldn't believe how fast the time in the hospital went! We really appreciated the wonderful nurses who took care of Lillie when we weren't able to be there. They made our hospital experience very easy and memorable. We were also thankful for the hospital's bending of the rules to allow us to stay longer than the normal hour and a half they normally allow for visitors. They were very nice and friendly every time we came in, even putting us in our own room with Lillian and letting us stay as long as we wanted to during normal visiting hours. One of the best things that happened (other than meeting Lillian, of course) was that we got to briefly meet Lillie's birthmother, which was a wonderful experience and we're happy that we'll be able to share it with her someday.

We're so thankful to everyone who's been sending thoughts and prayers out for us. We really appreciate all of your love and concern for us. We love you all!
