Introducing Bradee Lynn...

SHE'S HERE!!!!!! Just under 2 weeks early, born October 25th at 5:15pm. She was 7 lbs and 13oz and 20" long!!! AND PERFECT!!!! The doctor said she's perfectly healthy!! PRAISE GOD!!!! That's what I've (and many of you - thank you) have been praying for!!!! She is a perfect angel!!!

Here she is from yesterday!! Isn't she beautiful?? (Yes, I'm biased, but she really is!!!!)



There is absolutely no denying she's a Boyd - especially in this picture!! She looks JUST like her daddy and Grandpa Boyd!! WOW!!! It's unreal!!! :)


The first family picture!!! I cry every time I look at it because I see the tears in Mike's eyes and I see how much Shannon went through!!! It was a hard labor for her. 15 hours of tough labor and over 2 hours of pushing. But she did it all by herself without any drugs!!! Shan, you're AWESOME!!!!!

Here are some pictures from today!

Here she is with her Grandma (Pat - Shannon's mom)!!! She doesn't look TOO happy does she?!?!? :)


What's a matter punkin? You look like you smelled something bad!!!! LOL!!! :)

The very proud (and tired) parents!!!!! :)

Shannon said she's Mike Tyson!!! It was hard for her, bless her heart!! Her eyes are black and blue today from pushing so hard. They were swollen and starting to go down now!!!
Sis - I think you look gorgeous!!! I'm SOOO proud of you!!! You did it exactly like you wanted to and brought your precious daughter into the world (and gave me my first niece!!!!) I love you!!!
And here she is - just as beautiful as can be!! So soft and sweet!!! How I wish I could be there, punkin, to kiss those soft cheeks!!! I'll be there 30 days from today. It seems like a lifetime!!!!
And anyone who knows me, knows I have a weakness for baby toes!!! So of course I had to have a picture of them!!! Can't wait to kiss those piggies!!!!! :)
Happy "Birth"day Bradee Lynn!!! You are loved by so many people and our prayers have been answered!!! xoxoxo

Mike and Shannon Congrats on the beautiful baby girl. It is the most amazing thing. Vic- I wish that you could be there with them everyday. Soon you will be able to hold your precious niece!!

*~*~*~*Congratulations!!!!!*~*~*~*

She's BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

Shannon, you are a rock star!! 15 hours of labor and 2 hours of pushing wiht NO drugs!?! WOW!!!!! I'm in awe!

Will be thinking and praying for your family in these first few days. Praying that the time goes slowly as you savor these first few weeks but praying the time also goes quickly because Aunt Vicki is busting at the seams to have Miss Bradee in her arms! ;)
