I was due on the 20th of August but I wanted to have the baby while my mom was still here to help with Lila so I was induced a day early and went into the hospital on Tuesday morning. I had contractions for a while and then the epidural and then the little baby. Launi was born at 6:52 pm, was 20 inches long just like Lila, but weighed a bit more at a whopping 8 pounds 14 ounces. As you can see from the pictures she is all cheek. She is a total love and we are beyond happy to have her in our little family.
I thought it was really hard to be at the hospital and away from Lila but it was more than wonderful to come home. Lila was so excited to welcome us back and had already learned how to say Launi Jo. She loves her so much and is really gentle with her. She wants us to hold Launi and touch her hair and Lila loves to just look at her. So far she just wants Launi around all of the time, hopefully it will stay that way.
I feel like this has been a really easy recovery and I hope it stays that way. I feel great and other than being tired I have nothing to complain about. Launi and Lila are the cutest little things in the world and I am so grateful for them and my incredible husband who also happens to be the world's best dad.

So cute. She is adorable. I love the name. I am so glad that Lila likes her, I bet she thinks she is a little mommy and wants to do everything for her. I can't wait to meet her when you guys come back to church.
Who taught Lila to say her sister's name? Oh yes - her grandma and aunt Maxine! :) This really is the cutest, sweetest baby ever! I think you guys were seriously meant to have many children, because she's lookin' like she'll be another easy baby! Congratulations, guys! It has been so wonderful to be so close to the action. Anytime you need Lila to come hang out with Isaac...
