Ashley Pulham

Meet Ashley, Wes & Brooke's newest cousin. Becky, my sister went into labor on her due date! Who does that?! I think it is so cool. I was at the hospital with Becky and Derick (but in the hallway, giving my mom a play-by-play on the phone because she was in the airport in Alaska getting on the plane to come down here!). It was fun. I just stood in the hallway crying, knowing what my sister was feeling (doing it all natural) as she let the rest of us know how she was doing (in her own special way)! It only took about a minute for Ashley to be born. Then I got to go in. She was so beautiful and tiny. She was 6 lbs 15 oz and 18 1/5 inches long, with blond fuzz.

I took my kids over to see their new cousin, once I knew they were definitely healthy (I am very conscious about RSV or any illness for that matter around newborns), she is about 5 days old. I brought my camera just in case Becky wanted to take some pictures of Ashley. Just before we left she was awake, so we tried a couple. I like this picture just because she always had her hands in her face during the ultra sounds.

I think this one is sweet. She is just perfect. Everything on her is perfect. She is beautiful. I can stare at her for so long, she is so pretty.

Tiny feet! We had fun taking these pictures. My mom had this black material draped on her and then holding her and Becky kind of draped the material over her legs. It was fun. Becky especially likes her creases in her big toes.

I like this picture too, if you look at the first picture posted, she has big hands, but then you look at them with Becky's hands and they are so small. Babies are so precious and such a gift to us, what a responsibility...
