Brianna meets her new brother

Our New Niece!

Madeline Kate Asbury
Born July 14 at 8:27 am
6 lbs 15 oz
Pam & Glen found out a few months ago that Maddy has spina bifida. Everything went well this morning with her delivery. Jordan talked to Pam a short while ago and they are so happy! Maddy is just beautiful. We think she looks alot like Carli did when she was an infant. To see more pictures of Madeline, visit Pam's blog.

Baby Dan'l (as Brianna would say)



Just Born (we'll skip the picture of me with baby :)

Here I am- finally writing! I have been wanting to for what seems like forever (it feels good to type again) but you know what it's like (if you have kids, that is). Changing diapers, feeding baby, taking Bri to the potty, changing more diapers, feeding baby, grabbing something to eat, finding time somewhere for a bath, feeding baby, etc. I'm loving being a Mommy of two though. It feels so neat having a little family of four. I can't believe Daniel is already a week old. Time flies!

As Jordan mentioned, I would probably write more and no, I won't give you the whole story. I will say however, that I went in to be induced at 7:00 am, waited around forever because nothing was happening with me and they were swomped with 2 c-sections and everything else. My Doctor delivered 8 babies that day and 12 were born altogether on Mon. Started getting discouraged waiting around. I was having a few small contractions and finally they gave me some gel and that got things going- they never did give me the drip. By 5:00 he was born! Anyhow, we love him so much and Brianna is doing great with him. She is such a big help fetching diapers, binkies, burp cloths, lotion, etc. She loves to hold him, hug and kiss him, rock him in the car seat and bouncy seat and whatever else "little mother" big sisters do. She is still adjusting of course with the attention thing.

It looks like we are going to be able to come home for a week of vacation and Stoneboro Camp Meeting. So exciting! We haven't been to Stoneboro since Y. Camp last year. We can't wait for you all to see and hold him!
Alot of you have already seen some of these pictures that we e-mailed, but I thought I would put them on here for those of you who haven't and just for the sake of having them on my blog!

He's Here!

Daniel Ray Satterfield was born on June 30th at 4:58 pm. He's 8 lbs 13 oz and 20 and 3/4 in. long. This is Jordan writing for Kayla. She wants to sleep now, but she may write about everthing another time. Well, maybe not everything--this is a personal blog, but really...

Anyway, I'm sure Kayla would want to to say how loveable and adorable Dan'l is. Not very sociable or terribly out-going. Perfers to hang out at home, and eat and sleep and stuff. But loveable and adorable nonetheless.

One Brianna thing that was so cool> Brianna jolted me awake way too early this morning. Brianna peaked over my shoulder to get a look at Baby Daniel and asked ever so expectantly, "Is he any bigger now?" I guess she might have to wait a while for the trucks, bikes etc...

News!

I am going in to be induced on Monday morning! Thought you all might like to know that tidbit of information. They did an ultrasound at my appt. on Tues and the baby was already 7lbs 9oz- give or take 18oz. Anyhow, they decided it would be best to induce me a week(and 2 days) early since he is already so big. She said she would be surprised if I make it until then. It’s so much fun knowing when I get to be in pain! Oh well, I am so ready to have this baby and don’t want to wait another week anyhow. Pray for Brianna as my mom wasn't able to make it here yet and Bri will be staying with friends in town. She is excited about it, but I’m not sure how well she’ll do with spending the night and us being gone.

Brianna was all excited about packing her suitcase and wanted to pack her favorite blanket that has kitties all over it. (She always sleeps with it) I told her that we weren't going yet and she could still sleep with it until we went. She insisted on packing it and said she would sleep with her other kitty blanket. Then a little later she got real sad and said, "The kitties will miss me."

During VBS some kids were trying to say their verses and Brianna very confidently told them, "It don't goes like that!" What next!
