She's finally here!

Here is our new precious baby girl, Laila Dawn. She was born by c-section on April 1st, at 7:56am. She was 9lbs 1oz and was 21 inches long. Big girl! Her name has some special significance too. When I married Kyle, I found out his late Grandmother's name was Lalia (but pronounced Laila) I always thought it was a really pretty name and thought maybe if I had a little girl I might use that as her name. I didn't with Hailee, but this time around, I knew it was the right choice. Her middle name Dawn, also comes after Kyle's late Grandfather's name, Donald or Don Wright. Kyle's Dad's name is also Donald Gene Wright (he goes by Gene). I just thought it was perfect! I can't get enough of her!

Here is the first picture I took of her in the hospital. Chubby little face!

Proud Daddy!

Here are some pictures of the family meeting her.

Brothers:

and Sister:

Owen was mad in this picture because he wanted to hold her by himself.

So Owen got his chance to hold her and it was pretty funny because he was ready to be done after about 5 seconds :)

Time to go home! She didn't look so big anymore sitting in the carseat

We got home and Hailee's baby dolly was laying in the crib. They're almost the same size! This newborn baby doll used to be mine when I was a kid. I gave it to Hailee a couple of weeks ago to help prepare her for the new baby. She has been taking care of the baby and loving it as if she were real. Now that her new little Sister is at home she has been such a great helper.

Here is Hailee's impression of baby Laila with her big saggy cheeks and closed eyes. haha!

Laila's tiny little hands and feet :)
