It's A Girl!

Aleah Lynn Fast joined the family on January 7, 2011 at 2:39 in the afternoon.  She weighed 8 lbs, 7 oz.  and was 21 inches long.  We kept Natalie at our house while Tony & Amy were in the hospital in Glagow.   Amy went into labor Thursday afternoon, and by evening they brought Natalie over and headed into town.  We waited anxiously for that special phone call all night, and texted Tony in the morning for an update.  No news yet.  By mid afternoon we decided to go ahead and go to town, and if there was no news yet, we would all camp out in the waiting room until there was!  We brought along a few toys and jammies for Natalie just in case.   We were a few miles from home when Warren's cell phone rang, and it was Tony.  He told Warren Amy said it wouldn't be until the next day before anything happened.  (They chose not to know if the baby was a boy or girl until the birth.)  Warren's foot came off the gas pedal, and for a split second, we wondered if we should go home again.   Then Tony said, It's A Girl!  The suspense was finally over! 
By the time we got to town and were ready to go to the hospital, it was supper time.  We decided to let them get their supper before we visited, so took Natalie to McDonalds.  :)   Finally it was time to  go meet Aleah.

Amy and her girls

The doctor came to get Aleah to give her a check up.  Tony and Natalie watched through the nursery window.

Two days later, Tony, Amy and Aleah came home from the hospital.  Aleah wore the same outfit that Natalie wore home from the hospital, along with the ducky blanket.
