Alayna Victoria Philley

Welcome, sweet baby girl, Alayna!

We are so excited to have our new addition at home. We went to the hospital Monday, March 23 at 4:00 for an induction. We finally got on the pitossin around 6:30PM and Alayna arrived at 11:53PM that same night. She was 20 inches long and weighed 8 lbs .5 oz. We got to leave the hospital Wednesday, March 25 and arrived home around noon.

We have been enjoying relaxing and spending time together. Ann Alyse and Avery love their new sister. This morning after Alayna woke up and I walked into the living room with her, they both stopped watching Little Einsteins - I know, wow! - to come and kiss and hug her. They just light up when they see her and want to always be right in her face and hold her. Ann Alyse is of course more motherly while Avery really just loves the new little baby part of it. They both are doing well, though, and we love to see them interacting together as sisters.

We truly appreciate all the thoughts and prayers sent up for us. We are doing great and look forward to you meeting our precious little girl!
