About Me

Welcome to my blog! I am a wife and a Mommy of three. We have 2 daughters, Reagan and Hayden and a son, Grasyon. Here I write about our life happenings and try to capture memories the best I can. I hope this helps keep those close to us, in Texas, Iowa, Illinois, and beyond, a little more up to date while we're away. Enjoy!

Hadison Adel Couch

I keep trying to post this blog welcoming my niece, but every time I try I feel the words just don't show the depth of my feelings for this little, teenie tiny girl.

She is my first niece, my only Sister's daughter and I know how she feels every time she looks at her sweet little girl.

I will let her tell her story when she is back home and back to blogging. But our little Hadison was born 6 weeks early, February 15th, 9:08 pm, 4 lbs 3 oz, perfectly healthy and an absolute angel. 













One of my favorite pictures.



This week has been hard on me. I have cried at some point in the day every day. Just getting a call or a text from her, seeing a new picture, reading all the wonderful messages and comments they have received on facebook. I desperately want to be there so bad, it's killing me, but I know his timing is better than ours. (I had planned on flying in March 16th because she was due the 28th) I just want to hold her and hug her Mommy, be there with them, and help in anyway I can. However, I know they are surrounded with love from their wonderful family and friends and the help is pouring in. 

They are out of the hospital and staying at a Bed & Breakfast so they can be closer to the hospital and Hadie. They contacted a local place and after leaving them a voice mail they called my Sister back, they said they felt the Lord laid it on their hearts to let them stay as long as they needed for free. They wanted to make them a home because no new mom should have to cook or eat fast food. 

Talk about blessings. 





 I am so completely excited to share in this new journey with my Sister. There is no denying we have a special relationship and now we get to journey through motherhood together. I can't wait to share stories, talk babies and watch the little girl grow. 

My niece, she is absolutely perfect. And I'm smitten already.

Erin,

She's so precious!!! I can tell (have seen it in my son) that your niece is strong, brave, determine, and eager to leave the hospital and to come home.

As for your sister tell her, she's doing wonderful and keep up the good work (BM).
