The First Day

Sweet Finley, we are so excited that you are finally here with us!  We cannot wait to watch you grow and become the strong wonderful woman you are meant to be (however, you should know that your daddy has already presented you with the choice of joining a covenant or becoming a spinster, so I am not sure how old you will be before he will let you date)
We arrived at the hospital at about 9:45am to first visit your first friend Kailey who was born the day before and then headed to check-in.  You were born at 12 (noon) on the nose (timely since your appt was at noon, maybe you will be the one in our family who is on time).  When the doctor announced that you were a little girl your daddy teared up and your mommy was in disbelief, as she thought that you would be a boy.  You came out screaming and strong and didn't hesitate to show the nurses.  The moment the nurse placed the oxygen mask on your face you immediately ripped it off.

About 4 hours after your delivery your big brother came to visit and as daddy put it he was largely indifferent to your presence.

"Hi Kermit" (that's right your brother even called you Kermit when he met you; however, now a week later he calls you Kermit 50% of the time and Finley the other 50%)

Night, night sweet angel.  It has been a busy day and there are many more ahead of you.  We love you so much!!
