Lily Jane Salmond

Yesterday we were blessed with the safe arrival of a sweet baby girl. It was an amazing experience to see this beautiful, perfect little girl enter this world and to feel her sweet spirit. Jen was amazingly strong during the labor and delivery. The doctors and nurses were wonderful too. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. Jen went into active labor at 7:15 and one hour later Lily was here, safe and sound. Jen's parents were nice enough to keep us company the entire day and made it all the way through the delivery. It was really nice to see family members and thank them for their kindness and thoughtfulness as we have awaited her arrival. The Lord has blessed us so much during this pregnancy and delivery and we thank Him for the opportunity to care for one of his sweet spirit daughters.

Here are a few photos we took during the day yesterday. Hope you like them!

Now that was cool!

So we went in for the targeted or 3D ultrasound today. Joe about fell out of his chair when the profile of the baby showed on screen then all the sudden there was a 3D view of the baby's face. Joe thinks she has Jen's mouth and Jen thinks she has Joe's nose. Either way she's cute as a button.

Joe whipped up this very simple video with all the best stuff from the DVD and a dang good song. Hope you all like it!

Busy...

Jen got a new job! She landed a sweet gig at the University of Utah hospital working for ARUP. She'll be working in the STAT lab (yes STAT like "This is urgent!"). We are very excited for her. It's going to be interesting as we get used to her new 7 on, 7 off schedule, but we're still excited.

In other news, we had our second appointment with Dr. Beier and it looks like we are expecting a little girl in August. Holy smokes! Joe is not quite sure what he'll do yet, but he's thrilled. Not going to spoil the surprise of the name quite yet. That is still a very fluid concept right now. 

Thanks for stopping by! Now you're up-to-date.
