The Family Jewel

Ruby Kaye Woolner
8bls 8oz
20.5 inches long
born 3:53pm July 15th, 2010

We were invited to come see her just two hours after she was born. Fresh from our Heavenly Father and perfect as can be. She has a nice, full head of dark hair and large, almond-shaped eyes. She easily calms if you speak to her and let her hold your finger. I got to stay for her first bath. She loved the hair wash, hated the body wash. After her bath. I got to choose a bow for her hair. I chose red, of course, for Ruby. Her birth mother is amazing and is doing well. She pushed for two hours (poor thing) which was not surprising with a 8 1/2 lbs baby coming out of a 90lbs pre-pregnancy body. This little one is another miracle.

A half smile.

Noelle wanted to hold her right off . . . for the whole time.

Peeking in the nursery windows. When they wheeled her in, Noelle asked, "Where are they taking my baby?" Sam, was sweet and gentle but was ready for the ice cream we promised him if he was super good at the hospital.

What precious pictures! Are you so excited? Ruby looks like an angel and such a round full face. She looks like a three week old already. All my babies looked like wrinkled old men...lol. When do you get to take her home? Can't wait to meet her someday. Congratulations!

That picture with Noelle and Chad, and Baby Ruby looks like it came from a Hallmark Card, or the insert brand new picture frames come with.
I wish we lived closer. We should all take a road trip and meet in the middle.
