~Baby Brinley's Arrival~

Baby Brinley had a due date of October 7, 2015, so when I went in to labor 10 days early, we were all quite surprised!  It's actually a beautiful story though, of how God answered our prayers and allowed us to have a natural delivery.  He revealed so many blessings to us this past weekend, it was so amazing to see the sovereignty and awesomeness of Him!  

Little Miss Brinley came so unexpectedly and so quickly, we didn't even have our camera ready, so we don't have many pictures of her birth.  My labor started around 4 am, but I was in denial.  Around 5 am, I woke Mike up and said "I think it's time".  I very quickly was convinced it was real when I couldn't even walk to the bathroom, so we headed to the hospital around 80 mph!  Mike did a great job driving quickly!  30 minutes later, Brinley was born!

These are pictures a few hours later when the kiddo's came to visit and meet their sister for the first time!  

We didn't know if Brinley was a girl or a boy, so the kids were really excited when they found out it was a girl.  Grandma told them early that morning and they all giggled, Aylah's eyes were even filled with tears!

Our first family of 6 photo.

The beginning of true love!  Aylah won't let her out of her sight!

Grace loves holding her.

Caleb thinks this is pretty cool!  He is so gentle with her.  The first thing he said when he came to the hospital was, "Mommy's big tummy go bye bye now"!
