It's official! We've adopted a newborn baby
girl into our family! Yep, it's been a long time coming! Three years to be exact. We received a phone call Monday from LDS Family Services that our baby's birth was going to be induced Tuesday night at midnight. Baby was born at 9:53am Wednesday morning, weighing in at 6 lbs. 5 oz. and measuring 19 inches. We met the birth mom and baby at noon and got to know them for a long while. I later picked up the kids to meet their new sister at the hospital that evening. We all instantly fell in love! We are all so excited!!! We spent three of the longest days at the hospital feeding, burping, changing diapers, and just watching her sleep as we kept her company until we could sign the papers and take her home Saturday. It has felt like nine months of emotions crammed into a week for us and we are exhausted in every way and blessed to have a precious little baby girl in our family.
The process felt very long for us, required much patience, plenty of second guessing, and as with every answered prayer, it didn't happen in our time frame. And as a result, the timing couldn't have been more perfect! Everything has gone smoothly and we have no doubts that this beautiful baby girl is meant for our family.
So without further adieu, please say hello to Shaylee Ann Hone:
