we are family

Chloe Jeanette Sims :: Born September 29, 2009 :: 12:52 pm :: 8 lbs. 7 oz. :: 20.5 inches :: Austin, Texas

my baby girl

nana, mama, and chloe

We came home with Chloe yesterday evening. After two summers of drought, we came home to a yard filled with flowers. All of the plants and trees are blooming purple, yellow, white and pink flowers. I like to think that God brought us flowers for the baby’s delivery. Along with the most precious gift he could give us. A sweet baby girl. My heart is full of love and gratitude. My head is hazy from a combination of a lack of sleep and pain killers for the c-section.

Makena and Keegan are adjusting like they should. We are trying to make sure they are getting quality time as well. So far, so good.

Chloe’s heart is perfect. Such a blessing. And we are incredibly grateful.

I’m sitting in the bedroom right now wearing Chloe in a sling so I can type up this post and share her with you. I’ll be on here as much as I can. I’ve got about 500 pictures I took at the hospital to sort out as well.

  • Comment by Anna — October 5, 2009 @ 12:56 pm

    She’s Awwwwdorable! I’m glad to hear that she’s in good health and you are doing well too. A friend of mine had two C-sections (getting ready for a third) and I know they can be painful during the recovery. I hope you get a lot of rest, and pampering and stay happy with your new baby! She looks perfectly perfect. Congrats!
