Our newest addition...

Yes, it is a baby... but not ours!! It is actually our GRANDBABY!!! Our Joseph and his girlfriend, Laurie are now the proud parents of a sweet little girl. Her name is April Marie Johnson! She was born today, April 25th, at 8:00 a.m. She is 6 pounds and 18 inches long!!! She has melted our hearts and made us huge fans in a matter of a few minutes. Look at her and you'll see why!!!


Baby April Marie Johnson... isn't she adorable???


Giving Mommy a snuggle...


aren't Mommy snuggles the best!!!

She came after a very long and painful labor, and only 3 pushes!!! (I am a little jealous, with my first baby, I pushed for 3 hours!!!) She was delivered by the nurse because the dr couldn't make it there fast enough... she got there 10 minutes later!!

Here are some more pictures of our sweet little April...

April and her mommy... so cute!!!


Baby April and her daddy... getting him wrapped around her teeny, tiny finger!!!



Baby April and her Grandpa... he's not used to that yet!!! Boy is he smitten!





I guess this would make me a grandma now... WOW, grandma at 28!!! That has to be a record!!!

Uncle Jeremy is really liking that title!! She has a lot of men in her life... boy is she going to be spoiled rotten!!!

Mommy, Daddy and baby all come home tomorrow!! We are having her family over for dinner, and the guests of honor will be getting plenty of attention. I am sure after tomorrow, I'll have many more pictures to share!!!

I am so proud of Joseph, he really stepped up and was a real man!!! He was there for her when she needed a hand to squeeze and was an ear to listen to her screaming and hurt for her when she was crying, and tried to do everything he could to make her comfortable. He hasn't left her side for a moment. He is going to be a great daddy, and Laurie is going to be a great mommy. We have only known Laurie a short time, we have enjoyed getting to know her and love her.

A big CONGRATULATIONS goes out to the new parents!! We love you and wish nothing but happiness for your new little family!!
