She Arrived!!

Even though Courtney had been extremely uncomfortable, Baby Sister did not come before July 30th.  So Maggie Lynn spent the night at Grandma and PePaw's to allow Courtney and Keith to arrive at the hospital at 5 AM on July 30th.  A room wasn't available when they arrived, so they had to wait for an hour or so to begin the process of being induced.

Danny and I arrived around 9:30 to begin the waiting process.  Lynn arrived with Maggie Lynn around lunch and PePaw came around 1:30. Maggie Lynn was an exceptional little girl as we waited - she played with our phones, played cards and took pictures with her camera.  We were all so happy when word came that Brantley Alice Reasons was safely born at 3:07 PM, was 20 1/4 inches long and weighed 7 lb. 10 ounces!  She is beautiful with lots of dark hair

Keith took Maggie Lynn back to the room to see Mommy and Baby Sister first.  She loves Brantley so much..... I like to say she loves her ferociously since she is a little too rough in her hugs and kisses.  Brantley will grow up to be tough!.

Following a couple of days at the hospital, they all were reunited at home and the adjustment period began.  It is tough having a new born and a 2 year old, but they are doing well.  They will soon get in the swing of taking care of everything smoothly.... not saying it will ever be easy!  Here are some photos to document this wonderful occasion.
