The much anticipated birth finally came. Since Christine and I are teachers we were really hoping Ainsley would make it before school started. She definitely pushed the limits, but her timing was perfect. After finding out how far dialated Sarah was last Thursday night we all packed our bags. I left San Angelo at 9pm that night and my mom did the same from San Antonio. We both came into Denton at 2am and woke the Sanders family up. Then we all jumped into my mom's car to make the 10 hour drive to Nebraska. We got in a little after 1 in the afternoon and were some what exhausted. Sarah had a dr's appt at 3 that my mom, sister and I were planning on attending. Christine joined Sarah in the room since we all couldn't fit and pressured the doctor to induce here that night. She caved and sent her right to the hospital. This was amazing because it was Friday night and they normally don't induce at that time or on the weekend. They broke her water at 6 and Ainsley was here by 9:30. This was my mom's and my first delivery to watch and it was the most amazing experience. I was on the verge of screaming and jumping for joy. She was a perfect little girl who came out screaming.
She weighed 7 lbs and 6 oz and was 20.5 in long.
Gavin and Avalyn were chefs the next morning and made everyone eggs, french toast sticks and fruit salad.
All the Johnston kids.
Ainsley got to come home Sunday morning so we could spend a whole day with her before leaving.
She was so cute and tiny.
I can't even begin to say how great the trip was. I hate that I live so far from my sister and her sweet family, so every moment with them is amazing. I hope that I get to see them really soon. I love you and miss you already.
