The Baby has arrived!!

Well, I might as well let you know that my Mom has had her baby. It was born on the 16th. It was funny cause the night before my sister prayed it would, "Plunge out" (her words hehe) and it came out in the wee hours in the morning...well...sorda.

My Dad woke me up at 3am to tell me that my Mom was in early labor and would soon be having her baby. It ended up coming at 4:34am. It was a baby girl, her name is Lydia Pearl. She's kinda cute if you call a red ball of fury cute. hehe. But really its weird cause she doesn't cry as much as all other kids did.

Zach, (my brother) came to see it later in the day and he brought his friend, holdup this is gonna take a minute, um...oh yeah, his name was Chuck or something like that. Haha. My Mom wasn't so excited cause we also had our friend and neighbor Mandy over, and my Mom doesn't like crowds when she doesn't have her makeup on. lol

For some reason Mandy wasn't too excited about holding Lydia. But we finally got Mandy to hold Lydia and then she didn't want to give her up.

I decided to call Lydia, Travis cause that's what I would have called it if she would have been a boy. I wanted it to be a boy cause I liked the name Travis and even though my parents didn't Steph and I were going to call it Travis. My Mom said it reminded her of a country singer, I'm assuming she was talking about Randy Travis, and so she didn't like it.

I wanted it to be named William Travis after the famous Texan since most of you know I'm originally from Texas and a huge history buff. But my Mom still didn't like it.

I've decided to call her Travis as a nickname. But I don't know how long it will last.

Anyway, I've got friends over so I'll ttyl,
