My sister-in-law gave birth to a beautiful girl last week. Her name is Alexis, and she is perfect. Ryan and I sprinted over to the hospital after work to get a peek of our new family member. Both mom and baby are doing great.

I do have to admit this: Ryan and I were walking down the hall to Alexis’ room when we heard newborn babies crying. We both stopped and looked at each other in horror. Then broke out laughing. Oh boy, do we remember this phase. To all you new moms out there, you have my fullest support. That newborn baby stage was the most exhausting time of our lives.
