She's Here!!!

"Every good and perfect gift is from above" James 1:17

On a beautiful day back in January...we welcomed the most beautiful little girl into the world.  Jansen Hadley Jordan was born on January 25, 2012 at 5:55 pm weighing in at 6 pounds 13 ounces and 18 3/4 inches long.  Let me tell you...this little girl is BEAUTIFUL!!!  But I don't see how she couldn't be...both her mommy and daddy are beautiful too!  It has been such a joy and honor to be a part of this journey with Brent and Bria.  We have watched them grow spiritually, emotionally, and closer together throughout the ups and downs of trying to have a baby.  God couldn't have blessed them more when they found out Bria was pregnant with Jansen.  They found out when Bria was about 3 weeks along and their doctor was able to get her on some medicine that helped her to carry Jansen full term and have a beautiful, healthy baby girl.


Bria was induced that morning around 7:30 and from there on, Jansen was on her way!  While we were awaiting her arrival, we sat and visited outside of the delivery wing in the hallway until she was here.  Brent and Bria's family had been there all day long, so when Bria started pushing, they moved out into the hallway with us.  There's a really nice little sitting room for families when they are going to be there for awhile.  That's where their family had been up until the point when Bria started pushing.  I guess we got there around 5:00 and as we were walking in, so were a few other couples.  There was so much anticipation for when Jansen would be here, and we were so excited we could hardly stand it!  It was really fun to sit out in the hallway with everyone and just visit and talk about what Jansen would look like and how much fun it was going to be to have another baby girl in our little circle of friends...who really are our family!  After Brent came out and told us she was here, how much she weighed, how long she was, and what she looked like, we all waited our turn to go back and see her!  Our group of friends all went in together...and let me just say it was amazing!  First, Bria looked absolutely beautiful.  Second, Jansen looked so perfect and so beautiful.  She had a headful of dark black hair, Bria's mouth and nose, and Brent's eyes.  She looked so peaceful...like a little angel.  And third, Brent had the biggest smile on his face that was priceless!


It was so much fun preparing for this sweet baby girl.  And I know if all us other girls had fun...Bria had a blast!  We planned showers and watched the nursery come together and become a beautiful room perfect for a little princess.  There was also some shopping involved...duh!  The boys also had fun.  It's been really amazing to see how Jansen has grabbed a hold of Brent's heart.  From the moment she was here...she had Brent wrapped around all her little fingers and toes.  He loves his little girl so much.  I also think it's been really cool to watch some of the other boys around her.  They are all so protective of her...but also so loving and gentle.  When we all get together, everyone wants to hold her and love on her...she's just so sweet!  They are both such amazing parents!  We are so blessed to have ya'll as friends and it was incredible to be a part of this journey with you...we love you three so much!!!
