  6. You are so amazing, Bonnie. I am still in awe of what I witnessed today. Thank you, thank you, thank you for letting me be present for the awesome event. You and Travis were a beautiful team. I hope you are getting even a little, tiny bit of sleep tonight. Remember to take naps when you can and to have as much patience as possible with the nursing. It can be so hard.

    One of your best skills during your long, hard labor was using your voice to tell us all what you needed. I want to encourage you to keep using that even now after your baby is here. You will have many loving visitors in the coming days and it will be fun to see them and show off your gorgeous girl. Just remember to use your voice from time to time to say, "Hey, I'm really glad you could come, but I have to sleep/nurse now." Keep advocating for yourself, just like you did during labor to perfection.

    You are a superhero, lady. Congratulations. Can't wait to see that baby in the next few days. We'll be over soon...

  9. Congrats on the new arrival of Lydia Ann! Sorry we missed Trav's call on Sunday morning (we were at church).

    Enjoy each moment, they grow up so fast:) I can't believe our first is going to be 9! We have no doubt that she'll definitely be "daddy's little girl"!

    We're counting down...about 90 days left until our little one enters the world.

    Hopefully, we can see Lydia soon. We'll certainly let you rest a bit first:)

    Love,
    Angel & Ryan, Emily, Ryan II, Joseph, and baby
