Leighton Snow


Our friends Rachael(Peterson)&Davis Snow had their baby girl!
Leighton Snow made her dramatic entrance into the world on Sunday June29th and weighed in at a whopping 2 lbs 7oz! No that wasn't a mistype. She really is only 2lbs 7oz. She was born about two months early. Rachael developed preeclampsia and had to deliver her early. But the beautiful mom and baby are both doing well. They caught it early enough that they were able to give Leighton steroids to help mature her lungs and that is helping her breath a little better.
Today Lorin and I had the chance to go see them in the hospital. We got to go in the NICU and see little Leighton. She is so tiny and so precious. Words and pictures can't even explain how small she is. Her head is only about the size of a fist. She is such a cutie and already has more hair than Paisley! She is doing as well as can be expected and the doctors say she will be in the hospital for about 5-6 weeks.
Congratulations Rachael and Davis. Our prayers are with you and we love ya!

These are just some random pictures of Paisley that I wanted to share.

Congratulations Rachael, she is so tiny and beautiful! I'm so glad you are both doing well. You are going to make a great mom! And why is it that you don't have a blog? How are we supposed to watch little Leighton grow up? :-)

Cassie- that Paisley sure is growing. What a sweet girl!

okay I was totally shocked that she had her baby that I immediately called her, but I am sure she is super busy and trying to get better. I keep hearing about this nurse curse when having a baby. What is going on?

Your little Paisley is so cute. I am jealous that you get to put in big cute bows in her hair.

Wow, I can not believe Rachaels baby is so small. That is so great that she is doing well, and that she will be home so soon. I can not believe how much your baby has grown. She is so beautiful, and looks like she is such a great baby. You look beautiful as always! I hope everything is going great, and tell Rachael congrats from me. She also looks so beautiful.

Hey Cassie, this is Lacee. I thought I had better leave a comment after you left one no mine. Your little girl is so pretty! Not that any less was expected. I know, it is crazy how fast they grow and that must be weird for you to know Brodee is 3 now and yes, you did take such good care of us! I need to add you and some other's to my fellow bloggers list, but I totally suck at updating the blog, but I will try to do it soon. Have a great 4th of July, Lacee

Oh what an emotional rollercoaster for Rachael! Tay was only in the hospital for a week and I was a wreck. Tell Rachael to hang in there and she will be home soon. She is a beautiful little baby. And I swear Paisly couldn't get any cuter. Hopefully we will run into each other at the 4th in Menan! If not call us and come over so I can meet this little girl.
