Introducing....

Ms. Delaney Lucille Ralston

August 25, 2011 1:45 AM

7 pounds 7 ounces

21 inches

I might be a bit biased, but she sure is gorgeous...and happy...and healthy! What more can a new momma ask for.

She was a bit late, but after our doctor's appointment last Wednesday my doctor said it was time for her to come. A shock to us, but we headed home and got our bags and headed to the hospital. Things got rolling around 11:30AM August 24th and she finally made her appearance at 1:45 AM the next day. I have to thank my awesome husband for being such a presence in the delivery room. Having him by my side the entire time made her delivery such a blessing. Speaking of being blessed, we were also blessed to have my mom and sister there with us to help support us both during Delaney's delivery.

Since she made her appearance in the world, we have been taking it one day at a time, just trying to soak up each and every second of her first week. So far she has had LOTS of visitors, been to YoYogurt and even had her newborn pictures taken (COMING SOON...)

As I type I can hear her squeaking as she sleeps over in her crib and I fall in love even more than I realized possible. Pictures to follow...Here's to the adventure that lies before us...

It's Been Awhile...

I know....It's been MONTHS!

For anyone that knows our lives at the moment, I believe you will understand in my lack of posting. Since my last post we have...

• Opened 3 YoYogurts in Colorado Springs (4th on the way soon...)
• Both quit our jobs to be full time with the new business
• Put our home on the market
• Moved to Colorado Springs
• Started preparing for the birth of our first baby

Phew...Makes me tired just thinking about it.

Even though we have been busy and our lives our constantly changing, I would have to say that we have enjoyed every step of the journey that has been our lives lately. It has been challenging but so rewarding to see the way that God has been influencing our lives on a daily basis, pushing us to become stronger through Him. It is so powerful to see the way he is shaping our lives each and everyday.

Now that August has hit, the changes just keep coming. Today was Delaney's official due date, so we are patiently anxiously awaiting any signs that she is ready to grace us with her presence.We cannot wait to meet our beautiful little princess of God and start adapting to the our new lifestyle. While we have been waiting, we have been trying to squeeze in lots of time together (we turn anytime we have into a "date") including: going out to dinner, walks in our neighborhood, Putt-Putt, a nap or two, going to the movies.

I figured with a little one on the way, this would be a great way to keep people updated on The Ralston household (mainly Delaney I am sure...) Expect lots of pictures and an update when she gets here and we get situated!
