We are so proud to announce that our new daughter, Paityn Amber Schuck is here...finally! She was born on May 28th at 1:43 p.m., weighing 8 lbs 3 oz and measuring 20.5 inches long. After being about 2 weeks late and with a very long and astonishing 42+ hour labor, she is doing well overall. To make a long story short, we did most of the laboring at Heart 2 Heart Birth Center, but then needed to be transferred to Winnie Palmer where we are thankful that she was still able to be delivered by natural childbirth in the end. Right now she is in the transitional nursery because they aren't quite comfortable with her breathing and a few other things yet. The hospital pediatrician we spoke to tonight seemed encouraging that she was doing well overall, but they are going to keep her in there for at least overnight. Please keep praying for her and pray there will be no other complications and she will recover nicely and quickly. These past 3-4 days have been the longest days ever yet a whirlwind at the same time. We obviously have not slept much over the past few days and are pretty exhausted, so please say some prayers for us well. We feel so blessed and are so excited to be a family of 4! Paityn is so precious and and is one of the greatest blessings from the Lord we have ever received, just like Laila is. We can't wait to take her home and for all of you to meet her! We haven't been able to take a ton of pictures yet, but here are a few for our family and close friends to hold you over until you meet her! :)

Hey, Joy! I totally remember you. Which is pretty good because these days I barely remember anything :). Congrats on your little girls. I delivered my last two at Heart 2 Heart. Thanks for your encouraging words about my blog. I love your "About Us" description. I'm going to have to steal it.
