Welcome to the World Alexis

Alexis Skye Rushton was born today at 1:06pm, weighing in at 7 lbs. 4 oz., 19.5" long. We couldn't be more excited for the addition to our family, for our beautiful little girl. Mom and baby are doing really well. Alexis has to stay in the nursery to be under a little bit of extra oxygen since she's been out, but is doing well. I think she is just trying to copy her big sister.


I'm amazed at how well Amy is moving around after having gone through a C-section. As soon as she got out of recovery and into her room, she was up and out, heading to the nursery despite the nurses wanting her to take it easy for a while.


How amazing it is, the miracle of birth and life. We couldn't be more happy. And we appreciate the much support and congratulations from friends and family.
