Railee Ann Hinds

Railee (pronounced "Ray-lee") was born on April 35, we joke about it because Ashley wanted their birthdays in the same month, hers is April 9th. Railee weighs 6 pounds and 11 ounces and was born C section at 7:41pm. Patsy and I both got to go into the operating room with her, and it was quite an experience. Though less than ideal circumstances, there was peace and joy at the arrival of new Life. Ashley has done extremely well, she was up and around yesterday, and has had several good feedings with Railee, they are bonding and will be discharged tomorrow. Sister Kellie will be here to help over Mothers day weekend from Sherman, Texas. We are really excited about her visit, though it's still a secret from Mom. She won't find out until tomorrow when Kellie gets here, so if you read this before then, keep a "secret". The kids were talking and as always trying to figure out what to get their Mom for Mothers day that would be really special, so they decided Kellie coming up from Texas would be the ultimate! I think I can speak for all Moms; to have families together in unity for these special occasions is the greatest gift of all!
