I'M AN AUNTIE!! POSSIBLY TWICE OVER....?



This BEAUTIFUL little baby, JULIET RYAN, was born yesterday morning at 4:07am (pst). She was 7 lbs, 15 oz; 21 inches long! She is Bennett & Jennifer's newest addition! Isn't she delicious!!!

Her middle name, Ryan, is after my sister in laws brother who recently passed away from cancer. I think that's awesome! So special! Jen was scheduled for a c-section today, but her original due date was 6/9. Looks like Juliet had other plans. I was thinking at tennis yesterday morning, I wonder "why" Juliet decided to come so soon! Well.....

Yesterday evening, I get a text from my sister LILA!!!

Here is a direct post from her blog: OUR BABY GIRL! Yes you read it right. We got a call this evening from a friend in Sacramento that someone she knows had a baby girl this morning & has decided to place her for adoption. So she called US! We just talked to the birthmom Cindy (please pray for her and her family) on the phone & it went great. We are still awaiting many details of how long we will be there & how soon we need to leave but we may be in california tomorrow to get our daughter!!!! Crazy! And, incase you didn't notice, my brother had a daughter today too & our sons are only a month apart. :) soooOoOO excited. So UNprepared! Oh well, off to talk to the sacramento caseworker... Did I mention we are in shock? Ok, just checking. :)

WHAT!!!!!! TWO BABY GIRLS IN ONE DAY!!!! Some might call it irony, some fate. I call it AMAZINGLY AWESOME!!!! So exciting!

To keep up to date on the progress of my other very special niece, here is a link to Lila's blog: http://michaelandlila.blogspot.com/

and, in case you don't still believe in fate - here is a PICTURE of Lila's little girl - they could be TWINS! :-)
