On a much happier note, Ella Rose is here!!! She and Nikki are doing really well. Nikki said this labor was much easier than it was with Dara. Ella is 7lbs 7oz and 20 inches long. Dara seemed happy to meet Ella...we'll see how that goes in the next few days. Ella is very pretty...and apparently likes to be bounced with the butt pat (you mom's know what I'm talking about). She doesn't have a lot of hair, but she's got plenty of time for that to fill in. Here's the happy family:
Ironic story... Jenny came to see Nikki at the hospital. Jenny works with Nikki and Kim and is pregnant as well....due anytime actually. She left a few minutes after I got there. However, before I had left the hospital tonight, she texted Kim that she was on her way back to the hospital. She was having contractions and they were 5 minutes apart. Apparently her first delivery when she had her daughter happened in about 2 hours....so her son, Aidan, might share the same birthday as Ella. That would be pretty cool!
What a day! It is exciting to celebrate new life.....but heartbreaking to know that this very same day has brought tragedy to family friends. If I listen to my head I know that God has a plan for all of us....and there was a reason that Ainsley's life was so brief and also that we may never know the reason. But if I listen to my heart, it is all so unfair and I want to know WHY things are so unfair. If nothing else, it is a reminder that life is precious...and short. So I squeezed Zander a little tighter tonight.....and prayed I never have to let go.....
