Little Ms. Kylie Paige Curtis was born Monday around 11:15am, weighing 8 pounds 5 ounces and 20 inches long! She’s got the cutest chubby cheeks and the softest baby skin.
We went up to the Hospital yesterday and “ooh’d and ahh’d” about her. My sister-in-law is doing great and my brother is extremely proud! What a miracle a little baby is.
I had mixed feelings driving up to the Hospital yesterday… This was the same Hospital that 9 months ago we were all racing to the Hospital, parking on the Right parking lot and running into the ER, praying that my Dad would be ok.
In November of last year, my Dad collapsed in his house, and very sadly, he never woke back up. The knot in my stomach when driving up to the Hospital created a flash-back of November 9th, 2007. I miss my dad, I wish I could convey just how deeply I miss his sweet face and the fun he brought into our lives. These simple words cannot paint the picture that my mind can see, my heart just desires to spend one more day with my daddy.
Driving up to the Hospital yesterday… even though it brought back that memory, the feeling that soon followed was “Thank you Lord I’m turning to the Left parking lot and a miracle is born!” My sister-in-law and brother found out that Sunday that Dad had went to be with Jesus, that they were pregnant with Kylie.
In the mist of overwhelming sadness, God brought a miracle of joy into our lives. The same goes for yesterday, though I was feeling the pain of losing my dad, the joy of knowing this precious baby has come into our family, brought happiness and peace. Psalms 30:5b Weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning.

Your blog gave been a few tears Lauren. I remember going back to the same hospital my grandpa died in for the first time just wishing the pain would someday go away. It does get better, it never truely goes away because you have such a love for that person, you don’t want it to in someway b/c your afraid you may forget. You will always have memories…you will never forget. You can move forward and enjoy all of God’s goodness knowing he is looking down on you and is very proud.
I love you La!!
p.s I think Kylie is a cutie too, tell your bro congrats!
