Aidree Lin - A New Angel Among Us

Well, she is finally here. From a biased father's perspective the cutest little girl was just sent to Earth. Aidree finally made it here at 10:16 am, September 12, 2009. It was a tough one and she was so good at growing before she came she really made it difficult for mom. At nearly 9 lbs (8 lbs. and 15 oz.) and a whole 22 inches long she did a number to mom, but thank goodness mom is finally starting to recoup. Aidree didn't come out of the battle unscathed. She got a shiner herself. She was rolled over and was trying to enter the birth canal with her face resulting in a swollen head and a nice shiner. She was cute even with the shiner and swollen face and head, but once the swollen face left she attracted sooo much attention the nurses started hinting we were having too many guests.
She was a big hit with her little girl cousins who were just sooo excited to see her. They just wish she would act her size and play a little with them instead of eat, sleep and cry. Too bad some of them are still too young to hold her. They were so excited and just wanted to touch her and play with her. Some did get to hold her... but with some assistance. :)
Then, of course there were the grandparents and great grandparents. Aidree Lin was named after her two grandmothers (Dree and Linda). She loves just to snuggle with both of them and show them how cute she really is.
Last, but not least, are her parents. We are so excited to finally have our little angel with us. She did a job on her mom, but I think her mom has forgiven her already and thinks she is the greatest. Her dad is just proud of the two women he lives with now. Proud of Tristen's courage and sacrifice during the birthing process, and proud of how precious his little girl is. She truly is our little angel. We hope you all enjoy the pictures and feel of her precious spirit as we get to each and every day!
