I just had a "feeling" I should visit your blog this morning...and sure enough BABY GIRL HAS ARRIVED!!! Congratulations, Robin!!!! All is well??? Sounds like a nice size little baby...a good one to hold and snuggle!! But how did you manage to make a post from the hospital after the baby arrived? Laptop?

Baby's name?

Reactions of brother and sister to new sister?

How are YOU feeling?

I'm so very, very happy for you. What a way to end Thanksgiving weekend!!!! Hope delivery was without complications.

Love you...get your rest!!

Robin is so blessed, she walked in the hospital at 11:45 and had my niece at 12:40 a.m. 11/30/08, she sounds like she is doing great, O Robin is doing great to.
She must have a computer with her.

Robin's Brother

Ruthie said...

How thrilling - and early too! I'm sure you're very busy with the new little one...and I'll bet she is beautiful. So glad Rob updated us about the baby. I had a note posted on your due date - so can take that down now.
Glad both our babies are now safely here! Our Great Grandbaby is doing well.
Blessings and Hugs. ♥

Congratulations dear Robin (and Rick too)!

Must be something about third babies....you had her almost as fast as I had M. after I walked in the door at the hospital!

Your baby is precious!

Kay Day said...

Tammy Bowers said...

Yeah, congrats!!! You know, that height and weight is exactly the same as my daughter's when she was born...23 years ago. Anyway, I can't wait to hear what you named her.

Faith said...

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I am so excited and happy for you!! Can't wait to hear more and see pics of your precious little one! :)

Jake and Jess said...

Katie shared the great news and we are THRILLED! The pictures were beautiful and I cannot tell you how much she reminds me of her brother and sister. Their faces all resemble each other so strikingly!

How are you? How is your belly? How is precious Jenna?

Congratulations!!

Robin said...

Carol - I may told you that I chose 11-30 as my delivery date and will post more on that later. You have good intution! Both my kids are completely in love with their new sister.

Rob - Thanks for posting - yes I had my little girl 55 minutes after getting to labor and delivery. A God thing! The ladies were chuckling in Labor and Delivery after I gave birth - they said she comes in saying she's not sure if she's in labor and has a baby in her arms 55 minutes later. Just to clarify on that I have back pain a lot... so it explains me not knowing...

Andrea - I will email photos to you soon...

Melanie, Jen, De and Jel - thank you all for your congrats! We are so happy!!!!

Robin said...

Paula - thanks for stopping in - I will email pictures to you soon... Tina had her baby last night. Lots of new little ones joining us before Christmas.

Life Adapted - thanks so much! I sent pictures last night or this morning - time is sort of blending together now...

Queen - Yes she is quite the treasure and present. I'm in awe of the miracle of life!!!

Moms - I mainly skipped making Thanksgiving dinner because of I was concerned that I could go into labor and didn't want to waste the meal... I was hoping labor would hold off until the 30th of November though and will post the whys for that date soon...

Robin said...

Tiffany - Thanks :) I can't wait to post more just to find the time to gather my thoughts...

Ruthie - Your great-grand baby joined our world the beginning of the week and my little one at the end. Life is precious!

Chelley - I tried to call you yesterday, but no answer or machine. I'm addicted to this new little life already well I was addicted from the moment of sight well not really then either - actually from the moment I knew life grew within...and it just keeps getting better...

Kay - Thanks for stopping in and sharing my joy!!

Papa - Yeah James Jr. turned out to be a girl. I really thought she was a girl from pretty early in my pregnancy.

Tammy - Time sure flies doesn't it I bet you feel like you were just holding your baby girl. I know I feel that way about my 8 and 5 year olds too. When I took her in to the pediatrician 3 days after her birth they measured her at 20" and said they must have messed up in Labor and Delivery by not stretching her to her full length. They don't think she grew 3/4" in 3 days... So now I don't know whether to tell people she was 19 1/4" or 20" or just tell both with the story...

Robin said...

Bev - did you get the picture I emailed you?

Faith - How are you doing? What is the countdown to twins now? Hope you are feeling all right. Either leave me a comment here or at your blog with your email address and I will send you some pictures.

Jake and Jessica - She's waiting to meet you - hint, hint...

Renee - Thanks for the congrats!

Robin said...

Jen, De - anyone else that I don't have an email for that wants to see pictures - can you leave a comment here with your email address and I will send a picture. I haven't decided whether I'm posting pictures or not yet...

Robin said...

Oh... my brother said I must have taken a computer with me to the hospital - nope don't have a laptop. My hospital room's TV was equipped with internet, but I couldn't access my email just a couple of the free emails were available and blogger, but I'm near sighted and the TV was so far away that I had a hard time seeing the text, so I just posted a quick announcement.

Julie said...

Good Job Momma!

Faith said...

I'd love to get pics! you can email me at its dot his dot story at gmail dot com. Thanks! :) We're doing well. I'm 33.5 weeks now so the twins will probably be here sometime in the next 2 to 5 weeks.

Paula said...

Take care Robin and thanks for responding. my e-mail is mhsrotties@aol.com. Rest when you can and take as many short cuts as possible. It's the new mother's code. LOL!

Robin said...

Hi De - I will send those pictures shortly.

Anyone else that I said I'd send pictures to and haven't - sorry. Drop me another request because its likely that I think I already did...

Jen (Inner Voices...) I sent your mom pictures and she said she'd forward them on to you.

I'm enjoying lots of time with my little angel :)

linda said...

Robin said...

Hi Linda,

I just now found your comment - blogger doesn't always send them through. Thanks for your well wishes. You will have to stop by for a visit when you can :)

Unknown said...

im looking for pictures. dont see any :(

i know youre all doing well!

just wanted to let you know i was thinking about you!

love, tam

Robin said...

Hi Tam,

I haven't had much time to be on the computer blogging, etc... busy with my little angel and my two bigger angels. Taking care of a baby and homeschooling is quite the task, but we are making it.

My last post on this blog was a picture of my little one and my friend's twins taken on January 4th, but that is the only picture I've posted so far. If I get a chance I will attempt to email pictures to you sometime this week.
