Laynee Rae Merrill

She's finally here! Sunday morning at 8:15 Dr. T broke my water and 14 hours later she was here! She is so beautiful! She is very healthy and loves to sleep, which mom loves loves loves! She weighed 6lbs 15 ounces and was 20 inches long. She has both of her parents wrapped around her little finger! I have to say that my very first hospital stay was a pleasant one! My nurses were awesome! And I couldn't ask for a better docotor! As I started to be preped for delivery I looked at my dad with tears in my eyes and begged for a blessing, he of course jumped at my every request and my dad and my doctor gave me the sweetest blessing I have ever recieved. Having my doctor apart of it gave me the comfort to be able to put all of my trust in his hands because he truely had mine and my little girls lives in his hands. The spirit was so strong as I had my mom my sister and my sister in laws at my side coaching me every step of the way! After an hour and a half of pushing she was here! My doctor set her on my chest and it was instant love I was a mother from that moment on. It didn't take anytime to get use to. I never dreamed that it would be such an amazing experience! She is the greatest blessing I have ever recieved and she continues to bless my life everyday. I am so proud to be her mommy!
