SHE'S HERE--JODILYN (JODI) KRISTINE SIMMONS

Jodilyn Kristine Simmons (Jodi for short)

7lbs, 0 oz, 19 inches long.

Born August 6, 2007 at 11:55 pm. . .after giving mommy only 2.5 hours of natural labor :)
(I was feeling fine and obliviously working at home on the computer at 9:15pm and then my water broke and things started happening fast! We're glad we made it to the hospital in time! :)

God is one amazing Creator. We saw Him helping us so much throughout the labor and delivery to make everything go smoothly and obviously very quickly! We are sooo very thankful for His goodness and so blessed to have this beautiful, healthy baby girl.

We love her like crazy! Thanks for your prayers!!!

She's beautiful, JoAnne! Congratulations to both you and Doug. What a proud papa! I love the pictures. You already look great.

And to have a 2.5 hour labor with a first baby...that's awesome. Well, you DID tell us to pray for a fast and easy labor!

I love the name. My best friend is named Jodi. Take it easy and enjoy that baby girl.

Too bad all us aunties and grandmas aren't closer to help spoil her! *G*

She's sweet. Actually both of you look wonderful. I can't believe you just had a baby. Aren't you supposed to look tired?

Enjoy precious Jodi. Give her a kiss for all of us.

Congratulations!!! What a sweet baby, and such pretty hair. Have a great time with your new daughter.

I love the name Jodi. One of my heroines was named that, only spelled Jody.

Enjoy!!!

Jodi, dearest Jodi, how wonderful that you're here!

Did you know that you have an entire network of people who absolutely adore you? You will always have us around to coo and tell you how smart and lovely and kind you are.

That's what being a child of God is all about. It's part of being in a big big big family, and we're so glad you're with us! WELCOME!
