Mikaela Denice Rowland is here!!!

She was born on October 9, 2009 at 6:52

She weighed in at 7 pounds 1 ounce

She has a beautiful head of black hair

She is a great baby. She did great on our 12 hour trip from NE to TX. When we came to town we went straight to pick up Landon so he could meet his new little sister. It was pretty late at night and he was sleeping, so she tried to wake him up but was not very successful.

Landon is in LOVE with his new sister. He is the best helper that we could ever ask for.

We also had pictures taken at the hospital on Saturday morning. You can look at them for 90 days from the date of the picture on this website.

Sorry to cut this short but I will post again soon. About to head to bed while Mikaela is sleeping for a bit. I will also post pictures on Facebook as we take them too.

Be looking for more updates as things happen around our house. Hoping to schedule a newborn photo shoot and a family photo shoot soon and then in a couple weeks the 2 kids are getting pictures together in their Halloween costumes.

Thanks to everyone for all the kind words to our family during this very exciting time in our lives. We will FOREVER LOVE and RESPECT Mikaela's birth parents and are very grateful that we can have her and them in our family now.

The time is almost here!!!

Just a quick update to let you all know that we have a plan of when Mikaela will be here.

She will be induced on the 14th during the evening and will hopefully here sometime on the 15th.

We are ALL really excited. Landon can't wait for his sister to get here and Mike is working really hard on getting her room ready. It probably won't be ready when she gets home but it will be close. Hopefully by next weekend we will have some of the laminate flooring down and the walls painted. Not to stressed since she will be in our room for a bit to begin with anyway and her furniture isn't here yet either but should be here soon.

So we have a plan ready for us to get our princess home soon. I am going to be leaving Texas about lunch time on the 14th and Mike is going to fly up there on the 16th. His family has some things going on that we decided that he needs to stay back a few days for. Landon is going to be staying here with some friends and with my dad for a bit. We didn't want him to miss to much school while we went to pick her up because we wanted to keep him home a bit while I was off work.

Just wanted to post a quick update on what is going on here with Mikaela Denice Rowland. The next post will be when she is here with us as part of our family!!!

Here are a few pictures of her bedroom furniture that we have ordered for her!!



I will also post again once her bedroom is 100% complete, so be looking for that post too!!!
