Welcome to the World Paisley Isabelle!

I know many of you are shocked, so are we!!  All I can say is that when Heavenly Father has a plan for us, there's no stopping Him!  Paisley Isabelle came into this world on July 19th at 11:09 pm.  She weighed 7 lbs 6 oz and was 18.5 inches long.  We couldn't have dreamed of a more beautiful and healthy baby girl.  Treycen is so proud to be a big brother and has no idea what he is in for! He says "baby" and lays his head down on her.  I guess all that babysitting I have done is paying off.

So here is Paisley's story (short version for the sake of sleeplessness on my part).  We met Paisley's birthmom and her sweet parents one week before she was born.  We fell in love with them immediately.  I can't speak for her or her parents, but I can say that Adam and I left that meeting with peace in our hearts and knew that even if we weren't chosen to be this little angel's parents, that she would be taken care of.  We knew right away that Heavenly Father was telling us to get ready for another little child.

A few days ago, our birth mom went to go get pampered with me.  We had a blast and it was so fun to get to know each other better.  We learned lots about each other-  we even learned that we both love the grilled cheese from a local burger place!  Later that day, she called me to let me know that she had decided that she would like us to be the adoptive parents to her little girl that was due in one week!

The very next day, she started getting contractions.  I decided it was time to go get a car seat!  I ran to the store with my next door neighbor and joked around that last time I had bought a car seat, I got a phone call while purchasing it, to go pick up Treycen.  On my way home on Saturday from buying the car seat, I got the phone call that there was a baby coming soon.  Is it a coincidence that twice I get the phone call while purchasing a new car seat?

The rest is history, but there is so much I left out. I guess the biggest impact is that  I came out of this whole experience with so much love for our birth mom and her sweet, sweet family. No words can express how we feel.

Paisley is the luckiest little girl in the whole world to have two mommies that love her this much.  I will treasure this moment we shared forever.  She has so much family that he given her love and will always give her love.

We are home now and she is perfect in every way.  We thank our Father in Heaven for preparing all of us to be ready and willing to allow this beautiful miracle to happen.  We love you A.S.
