FINALLY! Delivery day!!
Shery and I arrived at the hospital around 5 AM and waited for Jill and Marty to show up. When Jill walked in, she looked so cute and so happy. We loved the shirt she was wearing. It stated "Due in January" -- Marty's cousins gave it to her.
The soon to be proud parents. Everyone was so excited.
Marty's Mom, Cherry, and sister, Kami, arrived for the festivities as well. Jill, Cherry, Kami and Marty.
Marty getting ready to go.
Ready to get this over with :)
Sisters!
Family!
So they wheeled Jill back about 6:45 AM and the ladies went to the waiting room and waited and waited and waited...
I took a picture of this clock at 8:09 AM -- little did I know but the baby had arrived at 8:06 AM - I must have felt it's presence :)
It's a girl!! The wonders of technology... Marty sent a text from the delivery room to all of us stating "Girl" and we soon received a photo of her. This continues to bring tears to my eyes.
The proud Daddy coming to the waiting room to share the news. He was so excited.
Marty getting hugs from his Mom. What a moment.
Baby feet.
Proud Daddy with his baby girl. Jill and Marty did not want to know if the baby was a boy or girl. People at the end were telling Jill and Marty that it was a boy because of the way Jill was carrying. I think everyone started believing it. Marty said when she came out, his first thought was "Gggirrrllllll?????" and then he was --- GIRL!! :) Jill later said he soon thereafter commented - oh no, a wedding to pay for :)
Besides not knowing the gender, Jill and Marty kept the names secret. We all found out her name when we went to the room to meet her and Jill told us.
Welcome to the world Tully Ryan.
One proud Aunt! I love her already.

CHH brought the girls up as soon as he heard she had arrived. Jordan and Katelyn were so excited to meet their girl baby cousin.
Katelyn loves babies and I know she will be a great cousin to little Tully.

Tully's cousins on her Mom's side!
Jordan loves her Aunt Jill and had to get a hug from her as well.
The girls were so excited and kept asking their Aunt Jill all sorts of questions. Jordan prayed for Marty and Jill to have a baby every night during our dinner prayers! Our miracle baby is finally here - prayers answered.
Amazingly - he looked like an old pro at this immediately.

Jordan's school buddy came to the hospital to meet Jordan's new cousin as well.
Jordan, Cherry and Tully. Cherry is Tully's grandma but we claim her as well as you can see by Jordan cuddled up next to Cherry looking at Tully.
What a wonderful day! God Bless.
