Welcome to the World Gwendolyn Grace!

On the morning of October 3, 2011 Tyson and I woke super early in the morning to prepare going to the hospital to welcome our new baby girl to this world.

We were very excited as we snuck out of the house, leaving Rebecca home with Grandma Bowen, both of them sleeping.

One last belly shot before we got to meet our baby girl was in order, and we were off to the hospital for my planned c-section.

I was excited and nervous, but mostly ready to meet our sweet girl!

Daddy got on his duds...and about an hour later...

Our sweet baby girl was born at 8:12 am! Gwendolyn Grace Ratliff, 8 lbs. 15 oz., 19 1/2 inches long! Healthy and oh so cute!

Daddy was in love from the start.

As was mommy.


She already made the cutest faces.

And was oh so sweet.

We just love her to death!

It was so wonderful to have quiet moments with my girl!

And felt even better to have Becca meet her sister and be instantly in love. The first thing she said was "She's so cute!" And then climb up (carefully so as to not hurt mommy!) and give her a kiss!

It was love at first sight!

It was great to have Grandma there!


And see daddy so in love with both of his girls.


It was truly an amazing momentous day. Sweet Gwendolyn has been such a good baby and such an amazing blessing in our lives. We are now a happy family of four!
