This pic was taken at just a few hours old:
I stayed much longer then what I thought I would, since Ashley had a c-section delivery instead of a natural birth, as planned, she needed my helping hands. I stayed until yesterday (Tuesday) and am returning for another few days tomorrow morning. After being with the lil sweet bug everyday, I am really missing her!
Taken first day, she found her finger pretty quickly:
And a last one, taken at her home yesterday before I left. She looked ever so sweet asleep in her cradle:
I so appreciate your prayers for sweet lil Allie Bug's arrival, thank you from the bottom of my heart! Sorry for the shortness of this post, but I promise to share some stitchey updates next week, and possibly some more pics of the wee one, so be ready! I just love her to pieces!!! She has been so prayerfully longed for, my heart is bursting with joy, love and pride!! I know that many of you understand that feeling!!
I need to get caught up on my reading and commenting, and plan to do that this weekend, just whenever I can get a stolen moment away from Allie Bug!
Till next week, Happy Stitching and I pray good things for your week ahead!
Love, Jan

Oh Jan! She's a beautiful baby! Love that shock of black hair - reminds me of my Tyler, whose hair was coal black, thick and stood straight up and then eventually turned blond! She's a beauty and you must enjoy every second. Congratulations to everyone! Blessings to everyone!

congratulations! I will continue to pray for you all as her mum heals and finds strength and you all continue in joy x
Congratulation on the birth of your granddaughter, she's beautiful!
Your granddaughter is so beautiful.
It makes my heart sing to see posts about new granddaughters, especially when the grandmothers are so excited. My grandmother died when I was seven (41 years ago) but her love was so strong and so precious, that I can feel her love just as strong today as I could 41 years ago. Nothing I've experienced compares to the love of a grandmother.
What a beautiful baby..and all that hair! My babies never had hair until they turned two years old and they weren't all that pretty out of the womb either! LOL! But we loved them anyway!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Wow Grandma, what a BEAUTIFUL Grandchild you have!!! Truly amazing, she is so sweet, and it is amazing how fast they come home too!! She was definately worth the wait! So much hair she has...what a blessing! Congratulations to you and your family.
She is so beautiful and check out all that hair! Glad everything went well and mom and baby are doing well. Enjoy this precious time!
Jan - I was so waiting for this news! Congratulations to everyone! Such a wonderful, sweet and beautiful baby! Absolutely gorgeous! And all that hair! I'm so happy to hear that everything went well (even considering the c-section). Enjoy all your time holding that sweet child! I think I'd want to hold her all day long!!
What a precious little girl,
Congrats! Grandma and to your family. I hope for mom to have a quick recovery.
Don't worry about commenting, spoil that little cutie. Lookie all that hair, she will have ponytails in no time.
Alexandra is just as sweet as can be, Nana Jan! I know your heart is overflowing with joy!
Congratulations on the birth of your beautiful, gorgeous grandbaby!!
OMG, she is SO gorgeous, look at all that dark hair! The picture of her in her cradle is just too much, love it!
Oh my goodness, she is beautiful and what a gorgeous head of hair :-). I don't blame you a bit for wanting to go visit again right away. Hope Ashley makes a quick recovery.

Congratulations, Granny Jan!
Jan - she is gorgeous!! A HUGE congratulations to the proud parents...and to the new grandma. Blessings to you all...
Congratulations on you all! May she have a long and prosper life surrounded happily by all her family.
Congratulations Jan and mommy and daddy - she is a beautiful newborn - so sweet and content. There is no love sweeter than that of a grandmother - I loved mine more than you can imagine - she was with me every day of my life until she passed away at almost 94 - I still miss her and think of her often. My seperation from her is getting easier now that I am no longer living in her house. I wish you the same long and happy relationship I had with my sweet Nanny and your little darling. Hugs and much love Mel
Congratulations on your new little bundle of love. Enjoy her because as you know the time goes so fast. My Lilly Pie is now 6 and Sammy 9 and the total loves of my life. Our next one is due in 3 weeks or so and excited doesn't even enter into it. Lots of Love Patti xxx
Congratulations, Nana Jan!! Your new granddaughter is the sweetest, most adorable little baby. God is good! :) I hope Ashley recovers quickly from the Cesarean. Tell her to take it easy!
