The Best Birthday Present Ever

My birthday was on April 20th. I turned 35 and got the best birthday present ever. Here she is.... Leah Racheigh Shields. My sister, C.C. was due on April 25th., but we told her all along that she would make her grand entrance on my birthday. And, she did!!! Leah was born at 2:10am. She weighed 7 lb. 9 oz. and was 19-1/2 inches long. I love being an aunt again. She is the most gorgeous baby so she must look like her aunt Wendy. Here is my husband, Uncle Kevin holding her for the first time.
Granny of course had to hold her too. She was going to be in the delivery room, but C.C. ended up with a c-section after laboring for 20 hrs.


C.C. bonding with her new lil' angel. She is going to be a great mom and I am proud of her. I will help her in whatever I can. Since I work at the pediatrician's office she has a pediatric nurse at her fingertips all the time. My little finger is wrapped tightly though from that sweet precious baby girl already!!

Happy Birthday, Leah and to me too!!
