Foveaux No. 5: Aslyn (aka Azzie)

Its been about 3 weeks since my last blog but I have a good excuse; I had a baby! Aslyn Christina Dorene Foveaux was born on Friday, July 8th at 2:07 p.m. She weighed 9 lbs 3 oz and was 20 in long. I have no idea how my baby got that big, after all Gavin and Casey were on the small side of 7 lbs, but it at least explains how big my belly was and how uncomfortable I was the last few weeks! :-)

I was nervous about having a 3rd c-section but it became worse as my surgery time kept getting pushed back. But I have an AMAZING doctor, Dr. Brittani Roles, and she did an amazing job. Surgery went off without a hitch and recovery for this one has been much easier than I remember!

Gavin and Casey did awesome with it all. They were so excited for their little sister arrive and even more excited when she did! They haven't spent too much time with her because the have been visiting Mama and Papa in Missouri, but they ask about her everyday on the phone. I cannot wait to see them with her and watch all 3 of my babies grow together. :-)

 

Rich has been incredible. He is so good with Azzie and she loves her daddy very much. I knew he was a great father but if its possible he is even better than that. He is so gentle and is very eager and willing to help out with her. The last week has been great bonding with her :-)

Aslyn has given me so many blessings just being in my life. She has allowed me to see another loving and amazing side to my husband, she has me in awe of her in general and if its possible, she makes me love Gavin and Casey even more than I already did. I am so blessed with this wonderful family and I know that everything I ever did in my life was meant to lead me here to this exact moment with these exact people. I don't think there is a better way to express the way I feel than this song:

Got a baby girl sleepin' in my bedroom
And her momma laughing in my arms
There's the sound of rain on the rooftop
And the game's about to start
I don't really know how I got here
But I'm so glad that I did
And it's crazy to think that one little thing
Could have changed all of it
Maybe it didn't turn out like I planned
Maybe thats why I'm such, such a lucky man

For every stoplight I didn't make
Every chance I did or I didn't take
All the nights I went too far
All the girls that broke my heart
All the doors that I had to close
All the things I knew but I didn't know
Thank God for all I missed
Cause it led me here to this

Like the girl that I loved in high school
Who said she could do better
Or the college I wanted to go to
Till I got that letter
All the fights and the tears and the heartache
I thought I'd never get through
And the moment I almost gave up
All led me here to you
I didn't understand it way back when
But sittin' here right now
It all makes perfect sense

Every stoplight I didnt make
Every chance I did or I didnt take
All the nights I went too far
All the girls that broke my heart
All the doors that I had to close
All the things I knew but I didn't know
Thank god for all I missed
Cause it led me here to this

Oh I cried when my momma passed away
And now I got an angel
Looking out for me today
So nothing's a mistake

Every stoplight I didn't make
Every chance I did or I didn't take
All the nights I went too far
All the girls that broke my heart
All the doors that I had to close
Everything I knew but I didn't know
Thank God for all I missed
Cause it led me here to this

Led me here to this

I know that things can always change but I know that where I am now is exactly where I am supposed to be :-)
