Hone Family: She's Here!!!!

Today at 8:21 am, Rylin June Crofts arrived and became the newest member of our family. Weighing in at

6 lb 3 oz and measuring 19" long is a miniature repeat of her older sister Rusti. Not being sure when this new addition would come, we were anxiously awaiting her arrival. We were surprised to meet this new little girl, not knowing whether we would be meeting a girl or a boy. Ashley was unable to find out what the sex of this baby was so she was a surprise. Ashley began having labor pains at 10:30 Saturday night and finally at 11:30 went to the hospital. She was only dilated to a 4 and really wasn't progressing very quickly. The hospital staff wanted to send her home but Dr Chamberlain had different ideas. She was monitored and checked often and finally at 7:00 only having dilated to 5, Dr Chamberlain came in and broke her water. Craig and I headed for the hospital and got there about 8:10. By this point Ashley was dilated to 9+ and Dr Chamberlain checked her and noted that the baby wanted OUT. We left the room and only about 5 minutes later, we heard a baby cry and Dr Chamberlain proclaim "you have another girl". I looked at Craig and chuckled a little. (I was hoping for another girl) We went back in the room and met our new little granddaughter. Mom was doing awesome and the baby is beautiful and healthy. I am amazed at how much she looks like Rusti did when she was born. Ashley and Tanner both loved the name Rylin and June is her grandma Crofts middle name. Rusti's middle name is Kay after me so they thought it only fair to let Grandma Nakole have the honors of having this little baby named after her. How thankful I am to have 4 beautiful granddaughters. Jordyn 5, Rusti 18 months, Aspyn 5 months and now Rylin. All are perfect and healthy. I can't help but marvel to know that these new little girls have so recenty left the presence of our Heavenly Father and come as perfect special little angels. So perfect and unscarred by the world. My hope and prayer for each of these precious little girls is that they continue to learn the gospel and stay sweet and perfect like they are now. I know each one was personally held tightly and advised by their grandma Helen to mind their parents and to obey the commandments and to return to our Father in Heaven as clean and unspoted as they are now and as she always was. Thank you mom for hand-picking these little girls to join my family. I couldn't be happier.
