A new little Lowry!

Lacy had her baby!!!! I don't think anyone checks my blog that doesn't know who Lacy is... but she's my sister- two years older. She served a mission and studied abroad, but otherwise we were usually together. We both married financial advisers, our weddings were one month apart and our first-borns were two. Unfortunately for me, she lives across the country, so I can't just run over and see my new beautiful baby niece... but I'm imagining I'm there... it's all I can think about. My sister, the Amazon woman who chased down Bolivian thieves on her mission, endured her second all natural birth this morning to a 9 lb 14 oz Camilla Jane. All natural, like not even an IV. They won't even let you do that where I live. I talked to her twice today and she sounds amazing... like any normal day, I think she feels spoiled to not have to get up moments after the natural (horrific) birth and drive hours to a bigger hospital for baby surgery (that's what happened with Joseph). They're so happy. Joe wrote a little on his blog too, and I'm sure they'll be pictures tomorrow. She really is one tough woman.

Aaaah!!! I am SO excited for her. This is the best news of the day! Congrats to Lacy, Joe and Joseph. I can't wait to see pictures of adorable Camilla.

All natural birth to an almost 10 lb baby? I'm speechless.

Thanks Lillie. I am putting pictures up that should be there in the next hour.
She's a cutie. And so's Camilla.

Yeah for Lacy!!! What a woman....way too much OUCH for me :) Can't wait to see pics. MY mom is proud for sure, and I'll hear all about it....she did it 7 times naturally and I get scolded every time for not going natural.
