We welcome Aliza Jane March 15

After a long labor I was very surprised when it came out a girl! I thought it was a boy but hoped for a playmate for Josie. She was born at Silver Cross Hospital at 2am with the help of a midwife. At 8 pounds she was our smallest baby but extremely alert and vigorous even min old. We all love her so much.
We ended up staying in the hospital for 1 and a 1/2 nights because (Drs don't release patients in the middle of the night) you are required to stay in for 24 hrs for the PKU test. We were VERY READY to come home that afternoon and had a bit of a pizza party with Grandma Terri (who again came from Mn to help out). Daddy makes great frozen pizza!
It was a slow recovery but we are so thankful to the Lord for letting all go well and our precious addition to the family. It's good to hear a baby's cry in the middle of the night again. Every Child is truly a gift from above.
