I woke Mommy up early Sunday morning to let her know that I'd be making my appearance later in the day. I chose to stick to the plan and to arrive on my exact due date.
Mommy waited quietly for over an hour for Daddy to wake up around 6:30 am (she is so considerate). When he woke up, she shared the news that he'd be meeting his baby girl in a little while.
So, full of excitement and anticipation, Mommy and Daddy headed to Athens Regional, where I'd be born. Mommy had a long, but good, labor. She is such a trooper!
Finally, it was time to push! Getting here was a little tougher than expected. Mommy and I had to work at it for almost 2 hours! But, we both did our best, and with determination, love and Daddy's support, at 9:25 pm, I met the World.
I am Jillian 'Drew' Martin, 8 pounds 2 ounces and 20 1/2 inches long. Everyone loves my sweet chubby cheeks! It is yet to be determined whom I look most like...
So, far, I am a perfect little angel. Eating and sleeping like a champ. Mommy, Daddy and I will head home on Tuesday. I can't wait to meet my doggie-sister, Sam!
Mommy and Daddy are overflowing with joy and thankfulness for my safe and healthy arrival. What a blessing!
Now, let the fun and excitement of life begin!
Truly a bundle of joy!
Perfect in every way!
Such a sleepy girl!
I've got Grandpa Scooter's heart already!
Cousin Mallory is very concerned when I cry. So sweet!
Daddy's girl
A priceless moment in time
