Introducing Ashlyn Lashae

Wednesday morning, and I mean in the wee hours of the morning, like 3 am morning, I get a text from my beloved sister in law stating that her water just broke and they were on their way to the hospital!  As excited as I was for them, at 3 am the text threw my heart into over gear and almost gave me a heart attack!

That morning I was summoned for jury selection, as I was waiting before we were given instructions, I got a phone call from my brother.  I assumed it meant he was holding his baby girl.  I couldn't talk because the room was so quiet, so I sent him a text.  He informed me the baby still wasn't there yet, but soon. 

Soon after, we were told our phones had to be turned off as we were going to be given instructions and were seated to view a very retro video on how we were selected for jury duty! 

A few hours later we were given a recess and were told we could turn on our phones as long as we did not speak of the case at all or seek any info regarding it.  So immediately, I texted.  Any news???

In return I got a beautiful pic of my new niece!

So exciting!! 

Through out the night, I got a few more pics!  So cute!  I swear it makes my uterus throb for another baby!!  I can feel mini contractions just looking at her!

I haven't had a chance yet to actually talk to RJ or Mandy yet (imagine that he hasn't called me back yet!  LOL) but I hear that both mom and baby were troopers! 

Congratulations on your sweet new addition to your beautiful family!

My Eclipse Premiere

First I have to give a big shout out to Donna!  Thanks for coming with me and on such short notice!  I love you!!

Second, I MISS MY SIS!!

So I brought her with me!

Here's a zoom in of the thought bubble.  It's a little fuzzy but you should be able to read it.

We had lots of fun!  I went to a different theater this time and was a little disappointed in the lack of enthusiasm, (and the lack of Eclipse posters and cut outs - we were limited to ONE!) but it was still a blast!  Although, I must admit, I wish I had more pics of Donna and I.  But since both of us are a bit camera shy, maybe that's for the best!

And as you can see from the slideshow (if you can view it - I still have problems) Jenn even came with us the next morning to share the movie with Mom and the kids!

We love you Jenn!!

Don't forget to check out my Twilight blog for my random thoughts about the movie.
