Gates is Here!!!




Gates was born Monday at 4:32 P.M.!!!!

She was 7 pounds and 7 ounces, and 20.5 inches long... Of course, Brandon and I think she is just about as perfect as can be. Thanks to all of our special friends and family for so many prayers and thoughts! So far we know she likes her swing...And that is a picture of us leaving the hospital, all in pink to celebrate our new girl!!

Look at all that hair!! She is such a doll. I'm so glad she's finally here!

I'm going to agree that she is perfect. We were discussing something in my reading group today about examples of things that are "food for the spirit" and I told them my friends' baby was food for my spirit. Thanks for letting me hold her while y'all ate and napped. I'd be happy to do it again.

She is so beautiful and look at all that hair! Congratulations to both of you. You know my son Tyler was born at 4:32pm as well. I thought that was kinda neat. That is a great picture of the family and you look fabulous.

mallie,
She is a doll. I am so happy for you and Brandon. I have enjoyed getting to know you through Anne MArie. I have known you would be a great mom. Enjoy this time(sleep deprived as it may be) you will turn around and she will be 2 just wanting to play "tiny baby".
