Sweet Jillian
Our sweet Jillian Hope was born on Friday January 22, 2010 at 3:36 pm, she weighed 6 lbs 7 oz and was 21 inches long.
This is one of my favorite "newborn" pictures of her. Danny took it with his cell phone while they were taking her measurements, etc.
I had gone to my regular Dr. appt. that day and my blood pressure was high. They had me lay down for a little bit to see if we could get it down, but when they re-checked it, it was still high. The Dr. came back in and told me to go home and come back on Saturday and that we would do my C-section at that time. I told Danny that I would like something really good to eat since I would be having surgery the next day. We went home to get the kids to go eat and the phone rang, it was the Dr.'s office. It was around 11:30 am when they called. They told me to come back today and be at the hospital at 1:00 pm. I started packing my bag. I guess everything was happening so fast and I was confused. I walked back into the living room and looked at Danny, we both looked at each other sort of funny. I asked him if they had said come today, he laughed and said that he was just thinking the same thing. So, I called the Dr.'s office back and asked them if I was to come today, she said yes. We hung up the phone and she called me right back and asked if I had eaten. I said no and she said good, now get up here! And life hasn't been the same since! What a joy!
Jillian ready to leave the hospital.
When she was first born, everyone was saying how much she looks like me. In fact, whenever they rolled me out of surgery we went right by the nursery where everyone was looking at Jillian. My mother said to me, "She looks just like you". However, now that some time has gone by, I can see how she looks so much like Danny as well. She is such a joy to all of us and we now wonder, what was life like before Jillian? She is 16 weeks old and will be 4 months old on Saturday, the time has gone by so quickly. She sleeps all through the night (thank you Jesus!!!). She is such a pleasant and happy baby. I love to watch our girls interact with her and "baby talk" to her. She is rolling over and "cooing" a lot! As Pawpaw would say, she is a little doll and we are so blessed. Since she is 4 months old, we already have SO many cute pictures of her. I wish I could put them all on here. Instead, I've picked out a few of my recent favorite pictures to show you.

The loves of my life: Abby, Kelsey, Kylie, Danny & sweet Jillian ~ 14 weeks old 04/30/10
Happy Mother's Day to me! ~ Sweet Jillian ~ 14 weeks old
And last but not least, one of my favorite pictures of my sweet husband and Jillian. I am so thankful for him. He was such a BIG help to me during the pregnancy and took such good care of me. It all paid off with this sweet baby.
Danny & Jillian ~ I am SO blessed!
Thanks for letting me "brag" on this sweet baby. We actually have 4 sweet babies. We are so excited that summer is right around the corner and are looking forward to spending time with all of our girls.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you my friends! Love & Blessings ~ Cheryl

I just found this, and what a treat! She is indeed a beautiful baby that was given to a beautiful family. I was barely "sustaining" in May and don't remember much of it, so missed this,and am happy to catch up on pictures and news. The girls have grown so much! I could hardly believe it. P.S. I loved your article on sustaiability, and am sharing it with my friend that is going to be with the Lord soon, due to extensively spread cancer. My heart breaks to part with her. She is saved, but none of her family is. We will see what the Lord does with this! Pray for me to be a good witness as well as for my friend Linda.She is very brave and a new christian,I must be a good servant of Christ.
