Welcome to the World Carrine Faith Stang

At 8:17 pm on March 1, 2013 we welcomed Carrine Faith Stang into our family...Jake and I could not be more thankful and relieved to have delivered a healthy baby girl! We are so grateful for everyone's prayers...Andray and Roslyn were so excited to meet their baby sister this morning. It was very special to witness Roz and Dray meeting her and holding her for the first time.
 
As most of you know, we've done "combined names" for our children and below is the explaination for our newest baby girl.
 
CARRINE (pronounced Cah-rin) is the first 3 letters of CARol (my mom) and last 4 letters of CatheRINE (my Gram).
 
The Pope declared this year in the Catholic Church the "Year of the Faith" and I've always loved the name FAITH, so very fitting for this lil' peanut.
 
My great aunt MaryAnn said it perfectly today at the hopital...
"God has truly created another miracle."
 
I officially began bed rest yesterday and after my doctor's appointment at noon my water broke on its own. So we stopped by dayare to say good bye to the kids and off to the hospital we went!  After delivery Jake said..."Well, you officially completed the shortest bed rest ever!"

 
Joining the world over 3 weeks early, Carrine Faith weighed in a 5 lb. 13 oz and 18.5 inches long.


 
She has a beautiful head of hair!

 
Just minutes after delivery - we are in LOVE!

 
Carrine got all dressed up in her DUKE best for her visitors today at the hospital!

 
Travel Size DUKE Blue Devils Fan...whether she wants to be or not! :)

My baby girls...I am over joyed with relief, thankfulness and happiness...GOD IS GOOD!
