Amelia Joanne Turner

nine months is a very long time to wait for a new niece, but holly has delivered a healthy and beautiful baby girl. amelia joanne weighting in at 7lbs 7oz. and 18 1/2 inches long. ya know, i should really start my story from the day before she delivered.
since holly has been terribly busy this summer, she hadn't taken time to get anything ready for the baby. the day before i went to her house and helped her put the nursery together, putting all the clothes away and organized things. i was worried about holly because she was running around getting all her kids here and there, and she kept having to sit down because of strong contractions. i thought to myself, i bet this baby is going to come sooner than we think. i even told holly i thought she should pack a hospital bag. holly wasn't so sure, and said that was her saturday project. i went home thinking about all the other things we could have gotten done.
about 4am in the morning holly calls me and tells me she is on her way to the hospital and she will call me back when she she gets there to update me....she should know better than that, i would just worry about her!
i couldn't go back to sleep, i just lay in bed making a list in my head of the things i would do for her after i got off work. plus, i was so anxious that i kept trying to talk to ryan about how i was worried. ryan finally said, 'janie just get up and ready and head to the hospital'. wise man, i did just that, i got up and ready, but i wasn't sure where the hospital was, so i went to my parents and waited for them. they were running a bit behind, but i thought if i don't leave without them i'd miss the delivery. i left and found the hospital, but unfortunately i missed it by about 5 mins. that's alright though, holly can't help that she shoots them out like a water slide..haha.
i was there for the best part though, to stand by my sister and tell her how much i love her and that she makes gorgeous babies, as i waited patiently to hold beautiful amelia.
i think i was last to hold amelia for good reasons, because if you know me, i'm sort of a baby hog. if you give her up, your not getting her back, sorry.
she is the most beautiful baby and tiny, you forget how tiny babies are when they are born.
holly you are such an incredible mother, you have so much love for all your children. amelia is so lucky to have you and scott as parents. congratulations.
