It's a Girl!

Ainsley Joy Suzanne Johnson was born by caesarian section on 21 January 2007 at 8:16 p.m. after 36 hours of labor by her mother, Kristin, who just might be the toughest Lutheran youth director EVER. AJ, formerly known as "Lumpy" and "Little Miss," weighs 7lbs, 2oz, is 20.5 inches long, and has the Mooneyham nose and quivering lower lip. However, she also bears a remarkable resemblance to her father, including lots of red hair, a strong set of lungs and a healthy appetite.

Mom and baby are resting at Douglas County Hospital in Alexandria, MN and doing just fine. In a move that should surprise no one, Daddy dragged his exhausted butt home but forgot to bring the camera along, so pictures will have to wait for tomorrow night. Thanks be to God for a healthy delivery and a new life to celebrate in the world - we are truly blessed.

Love to you all,
Scott

  10. Wonderful...oooh, poor Kristen. But good that all is well. As a brand new grandma, I can say positively that there is NOTHING remotely as wonderful and stunning and humbling, etc. as a newborn baby. Stop by The Owl's Song to see pics, and I will come back to take a look at those of the new little red headed girl. :-)
