On Thursday my dad called and said that my sister Ashley's water broke. She wasn't due until May 24th, so it was a little alarming. My phone has a mind of it's own and decided that day that I could receive calls, but the microphone wasn't going to work so I couldn't talk to him. I rushed over to Katie's house to borrow her phone. After getting off the phone with my mom I was worried about Ash and Brooklyn. Katie reminded me it was April Fools and I dismissed it at first. After awhile though I couldn't shake that feeling. Now I was just worried and confused. Well, turns out it was an April Fools joke, but Brooklyn herself was the prankster. After my amazingly brave (and seriously just amazing in general) sister went though an emergency c-section little Brooklyn was here. She was 5 lbs 1 oz (yeah, she would have been a chunker if she made it past 32 1/2 weeks) and was 17 1/2 inches long. She will have a bit of a stay in the NICU but hopefully not the five weeks or so they are thinking. Ashley is amazing and recovering well. I'm so grateful for Brooklyn's safe arrival and for the blessing I have to have a sister. Just wish I could have been there... love ya and awesome job and see you soon anyway!!!

Isn't modern medicine a miracle. Thanks for posting little baby photos, I always think of Harrison when I see them and it is nice to remember how blessed we are.
