The day had finally come that we had been waiting for… her scheduled csection! Our morning started off at 4:30am getting ready and arriving at the hospital at 6:00am for check-in. One last picture of Mommy with Lexi on the inside… 39 weeks and 3 days.

Our experience at Parkwest was outstanding. All the staff was so kind and efficient and we went straight to the room we would stay in, then to the delivery room and then straight back. We were so excited and so ready to meet our sweet girl.

Daddy said he wanted to show his daughter how a lady should be treated from the start so he dressed to impress with his pink bowtie for her. So sweet!

Lexi Grace arrived at 8:33am weighing 7 pounds and 10 ounces, 19.5 inches long.

She came out very mad and letting us know about it by crying for about an hour!

All Momma could do was cry for her first minutes out because she finally had her girl. I kept saying, “She really is a girl… she really is a girl!” as tears rolled down my cheeks.

Perfect in every way.. this was her first picture shared with the world.

We came back to our room and had some precious first moments with her before welcoming the rest of the family to meet her (another post on that).

We instantly fell in love with this precious girl and couldn’t be more thankful to God for choosing us as her parents. It was a day we will never forget… the day our hearts grew triple in size!

I noticed the bowtie in the pictures you posted on Facebook and now I love the reason behind it! So cute! And there is just something so special about having a girl for sure. They melt your heart from the very beginning!
