Welcome New Baby ~ Rilee Sue!

Rilee Sue ~ May 15, 2007

8 lbs. 12 oz. and 20 1/2 in. long.

my brother in law and his fiance welcomed a new baby girl into the family at about 1:00 pm. t.j. (my brother in law) has two boys from a previous relationship, so this was the first baby for alicia (his fiance) and t.j. together. poor alicia was induced on sunday night and after 41 hours of labor, had only made it to 3 cm. dialated. they decided to finally do a c-section. rilee sue was 2 weeks early and weighed in at 8 lbs. 12 oz. and was 20 1/2 in. long. here is rilee and her mom (she looks good for going through so much, huh?):

and daddy and rilee:


when we got to the hospital and were there for a little bit, jordan surprised me by being the first to ask if he could hold rilee. he didn't last long, but he had fun holding her. latoya of course lasted forever but she finally gave her back to her mom! here are some pictures of latoya and jordan holding rilee:


and her brothers holding her:




other news, toya had a tooth pulled today. she had one that was coming in behind the rest, so she had that pulled. i was so proud of her, she barely even cried and hasn't cried since leaving the office!! of course she had going to see the baby to look forward to so that helped! anyway, that is all for tonight. here is a slideshow with some more pictures:
