Our sweet baby Girl....


So, as many of you know we had our sweet little baby girl on the 17th. She is the most perfect and precious baby ever. We named her Finley Reese Terrill and she is as healthy as can be. She sleeps all the time and only cries when you change her diaper. We are all so wrapped up in her cuteness. I have a feeling she will hardly ever be put down . I can't even describe the feeling that I get when I hold her. I can't believe that she is finally here. She is such a sweet blessing and I can't imagine our family without her. Gabe always asks if he can pet her, and goes straight to her in the morning to make sure she is still here. He is so sweet and gentle with her and I am so glad that he has excepted her so willingly into our family. Chandler is like a little mother hen. She had outfits for an entire week picked out for Finley to wear, and makes sure everyone washes there hands before they touch her. She wants to be holding and touching her sister at all times, and makes sure no one holds her for too long. Chris and I are absolutely in love!! We always wonder how we could love another child, but it is so instant. We love our children more than anything in this world and we are so thankful for our new baby Finley.

My sister Sharla went into labor on the eighteenth, so we were able to share our happiness right across the hall from one another. She was due a week after me, but her baby was ready to come into the world. He had some breathing problems, but with a blessing and many prayers he has been breathing on his own and gets to go home tomorrow. It was so neat to share such a special experience with my sister. I have a feeling that these two are going to be such close cousins. I love you Sharla and I am so excited for you to bring baby Dylan home.
