A new arrival

Amelia Marie Adams joined our family at 6:56 am on Friday, September 21! She weighed in at 9 lbs even and is 22 inches long! Amelia had a rough start and experienced some breathing difficulty, so she had to stay a little longer in the hospital's special care nursery to receive antibiotics. On Monday morning, the doctors were able to rule out an infection and pronounced her healthy enough to go home. We're so thankful for all of your prayers and God's faithfulness to our little one. It's a joy to be home together now celebrating our new family of four! Charlie loves his little sister and gives her "kisses" all the time. When she cries he tries to climb into her bouncy seat to comfort her--yikes. More pictures soon...

Welcome to the world Ms. Amelia! Violet was so excited to hear that her (pre-arranged) bossom friend had arrived.

We will continue to praying that you remain healthy and strong.

p.s. welcome to the cutie-patootie club.
(must be 0-36 months of age to join, and have wonderful parents, and let your Auntie Lora squeeze you as often as she wants!)

Bob, Jen & Charlie,
We are so thankful that all is well and that Amelia is home with all of you! She is beautiful! There is nothing like a newborn. So sweet.

Can't wait to see more pictures. Your blog is a fantastic way to keep friends and family a part of your lives and also to preserve these precious times. You do a great job with it, Jen!

I can only imagine how Grandma & Grandpa Adams are feeling right now!!!

God bless and keep your precious family.
Love,
Uncle Paul & Aunt Judy

Pulled up the picture again, this morning. The more I look at Amelia, the more I see your cousin Julie when she was a baby. I think she has the Avery nose!!! (Open to correction on that one!) lol

It's amazing how babies are such a blend of families. She's a beauty. A package of love and joy.

Love,
Aunt Judy

So happy to hear that my newest cousin is home and healthy! Congratulations on such a lovely little girl! :)

p.s. I sent a package ordered online via the lady who makes the items, (never done that before through a stranger - kinda sketchy!), just curious if it arrived or if I need to hunt her down!
:)

Happy family of FOUR time!
