Just had to interrupt my regularly scheduled posts to share that Baby girl Parker has arrived and all are doing well! We are all over the moon excited about our new bundle of joy and how much this is going to enhance our family. Lauren went natural with delivery and so it was about a 24 hour process of getting Parker into the world and we are SO thankful that everything went well and mama and daughter are peacefully resting.
My sister is down there and will be for about 6 weeks, helping Lauren with the baby. I’m planning to take my parents down there probably the 2nd week of March or so and we will all get to see her in person. My sister was texting pics to me all morning since she was born just before 7 a.m. Central time today. I went over today to show my parents all the text pics, since they don’t have an iphone. I wish you could have seen the smiles from ear to ear on both of them, with my mom choking back the tears as she peered at pics of her great granddaughter for the first time. What a special time it is for all of us! Thanks to all of you for the prayers when I posted the labor on Facebook yesterday. God is good!
This baby girl will get plenty of love and attention from both sides of the family and we think she’s pretty darn cute too. Those pouty lips just won my heart! Babies are such a blessing from above and we will cherish this bundle of joy forever.
Congratulations to all of you! She is absolutely precious. It is so very true that “Every good and perfect gift is from above.” (James 1:17)
What an absolutely beautiful baby. She will be a blessing to your entire family. I was so touched by hearing of the joy of your parents. They are the sweetest couple. Congrats to all of you!!
Just beautiful! I’m so happy for your lovely family!
Parker and Mama are just gorgeous!!!! Congrats to y’all!!!
Congratulations! I know you are over the moon!
Congratulations, Rhoda. Funny thing, I thought of you several times over the weekend, as I hosted a baby shower for my niece on Saturday, who is expecting mid-April. Best wishes to you all as Parker joins the circle of love that is your family.
Isn’t she lovely…Isn’t she wonderful! Congratulations!
Congratulations and Blessings to you, Rhoda, and your whole family! What a beautiful baby girl and Mama! The joy of a newborn child into your family just fills your heart–forever. You and your Mom and Dad must be just bursting with love and excitement. How wonderful it is for little Parker to have Great Gramma and Grampa, and Auntie Rhoda…
Congrats to all Rhoda!!! She is just a doll and those pouty lips are priceless.

Congratulations! What a beautiful precious baby. Soon you will all be wondering what you talked about before Parker became part of your family! Best wishes to your family!
Praise God. She is a beautiful little angel. Her momma looks fantastic. Wishing all of you many blessings
and please hug your mom and dad for me. How proud all of you must be.
God Bless each and every one of you on this glorious day.
Congratulations to you all! What a precious little doll! My youngest grandson is named Parker, also. My mom & dad cherish being great grand-parents x 4, &’I can just imagine how incredibly blessed you dear folks are. May God richly bless little Parker as she grows to know & love Him!
Oh I am so happy for you all! Lauren looks beautiful and so does Parker. My girls were lucky enough to know my grandma and poppa for 17 and 15 yrs. They had a very special relationship with my grandparents. They also have a very special relationship with my aunt and uncle. You are all very blessed.
Parker is so adorable and Lauren looks like one proud Mama…Congratulations to your whole family, I know she will be spoiled, and I don’t blame you one bit…Can’t wait for more pictures…Take care….
