Leighton Valencia Maxfield

Leighton was born on May 12, 2009 at 11:40Pm. She weighs 7 pounds 3 ounces and she is 19 1/2 inches long. We are so excited to finally have her here! May 12th is a very special day to us. It's the day Jack proposed to me 2 years ago and we are so happy that it is our little angel's birthday! We already love her so much, I didn't know it was possible to love someone so much! She is such a beautiful baby and we are so grateful that Heavenly Father sent her to us! We must have done something right :) Right now, she is still in the Newborn ICU. She had the hiccups throughout the delivery and has some fluid in her lungs. They are going to keep her for a few days to stabilize her oxygen levels, but she seems to be doing well. She's our little trooper already! And I have to say: Jack was my incredible husband, as usual, yesterday! He massaged my feet, stayed with me the entire day, held my hand through every contraction, waited on me hand and foot, held my leg up during labor(only my left side really took the epidural and I couldn't lift my left leg at all!), he counted through all my contractions, and he even cut the chord!! Sorry ladies, I snagged the best man out there! He's such an amazing husband and I know he's going to be a great father too!!
Well, we just wanted to post a few pictures so everyone back home can see her!
We love our little Leighton, we're so glad she made it here safely!!

He's going to be such a great daddy!

On another note, we are so happy that we had Leighton before Ethan had to go home today! I've had so much fun celebrating his 21st birthday with him and hanging out the past week! It was so special for to me that he was able to hold Leighton before he left. She is so lucky to have such great aunts and uncles! We miss you already, Eeskie! I hope you enjoyed your birthday week and we're so thankful for you! Love you so much, buddy!!
