Oh happy day!
Posted on Wednesday, June 11th, 2008 at 4:08 pmToday was an incredibly special day for our family!
Adeline Joy Bennion (“Addie”) was born.
3:35am
6 lbs 13 oz.
Addie is the daughter of Jess (Eric’s brother) and Michelle. We are so thrilled that she is here and even more thrilled that she managed to miss her Dad’s birthday (Jess’ birthday is the 7th and everyone was a little worried she’d show up then!).
Both Mom and daughter seem to be doing good – everyone is tired. They’ll go home on Friday (I think).
It was fun trying to explain to Will and Walker that the baby inside Michelle’s belly was now the baby inside the pictures we were sent. They still haven’t grasped the concept, as is evidenced by the fact that Will continues to tell me about the baby in HIS belly. This is their first cousin on either side of the family AND that gives Eric and I the coveted Aunt and Uncle status. I’m excited to share lots of love without all the responsibility. I’ll leave that to Jess and Michelle who I am sure will do well!
Congrats Jess and Michelle! Welcome to our world baby Addie! We love you already!
