Adeline Elizabeth is here!
April 17th, 2008 | Published in baby, lifestyle | 13 Comments
My brother and his wife, Jackie, had their baby girl yesterday! You may remember the maternity session I did for them on Easter. Now she’s here! She’s so cute with dark curly hair. It’s so amazing to me to see babies with hair because I’m so used to Alana’s little fuzz head. Here are the stats for the girls:
Born: 7:59pm
Weight: 8lb 7oz
Length: 21″
Looks: cute as a bug (a lady bug that is — not a roach)
Check out these quick photos I grabbed of her!
Jeff just became a dad! Wow! Here he is holding his daughter for the very first time.
She had huge feet. Everyone was commenting on them. She’s going to be either a basketball player or a swimmer with those flippers!
Ever wonder what your hands and feet would look like if you stayed in the bath tub for 9 months? This will give you a pretty good idea.
Mom and baby. For nine months Adeline has been with them constantly but only now do they really know what she looks like. It’s such an amazing feeling to finally getting to see her.
So cute!
Side note: those Erlanger cups are the best! We still use ours constantly!
When we go back to the hospital at lunch, I’m going to try to get Jeff to write a few things on here about his first experiences of being a dad. Hopefully he won’t be too busy! I’ll add it to the bottom here.
Jeff the proud papa here! After a long anxious nine months my beautiful little girl is here. I couldn’t be more amazed and awed by Adeline and my wife Jackie. God made himself known repeatedly throughout the long day. God’s strength and protection made my normally queasy self strong when my wife needed for me to be. His hedge of protection was around my daughter when she came out and the cord was wrapped 3 times around her neck. She wasn’t breathing but as soon as the doctor laid her down, the jolt made her begin breathing. Her first cries brought tears to my eyes. A scary moment for a first time dad. The doctors and nurses were amazing and such a comfort to my wife and I. God is amazing and I am humbled by the job of being in charge of raising a young Christian lady. A daunting task. I pray for his help and guidance. Thanks for everyone’s prayers. God was listening as always, and answered our prayers. Praise and Glory to Him! Jeff

Praise be to God. How amazing are His works! God will truly bless and keep you three as you continue to surrender and submit your lives each day as a living sacrifice. “His grace is sufficient for you; His power is made perfect in weakness.” We are so happy for you!

[…] Then on Wednesday, Rich and I scrambled to the hospital to welcome our brand new niece, Adeline Elizabeth into the world! Jeff and Jackie are going to be such wonderful parents, and we were so excited to meet this new addition to the family. She is perfect, and has a miniature cry that will melt your heart. At exactly five months old, Alana now has a new little cousin. There are more (and much better) photos on Rich’s blog. […]
