Hallelujah!

Hello, world!

I arrived at 7:06 p.m. tonight, on the 7th of April in L&D Room 7! As you may know, seven is the "perfect number," according to the Bible, so I feel very blessed indeed!

Dad, mom and I are doing just fine, thank you! Grandpa, my two grandmas and my aunt were in the waiting room when I arrived and they're proud as punch! (My uncle had to work, so he couldn't make it.)

Tale of the Tape: 6 lbs. 12 oz - brown hair - brown eyes - 22 INCHES LONG! (they're already calling me a future Katie Feenstra!)

Dad took some pictures of me and I would post them for you to see, but I'm stark NEKKID in them, so I'll wait until I can get some clothes on! Grandpa did get a shot of dad filling out my baby book in the waiting room shortly after I was born and I'll try to post that one.

For those of you wondering where I got my name, "Jayme" is a feminine derivative (I know, that's a big word for a newborn!) of the name, "James," which was my dad's middle name, and my grandpa's, great-grandpa's and great-great-grandpa's first name. "Lynn" is my mom's middle name.

Since I arrived a few weeks ahead of schedule, Mom and I are going to hang out here at the hospital for a few days, so I'll be updating my blog from the nursery (I wish some of these other kids would quiet down so I can get some shut-eye!)

Well, I've had quite a trip, so I'll close now. Be sure to check back later for more news and photos!

I see trees of green, red roses, too. I see them bloom for me and you. And I think to myself, "What a Wonderful World!"

Thank you, Lord, for watching over me from the very beginning! (Psalm 139:13)
