Holt Girl #3

The newest member of our family arrived on May 9, 2011 at 3:13 pm. She was a few days late and I suspect was up spending time with my dear grandmother who had passed away just days before. I started having contractions on Thursday and while they weren't regular, they kept coming. Thinking it was time, we took the girls to Brock's parents and drove to the hospital -Elsa came so quickly that we didn't want to take any chances. But after an hour at the hospital, they sent me home! I was shocked and a little embarrassed, I've had 2 kids, but the contractions weren't regular. So we went to eat and walk around a lot, and nothing happened, they completely stopped. I am sure now that she was just allowing me to be able to attend Grandma Reeder's funeral and be with all my family at that special time. When Monday morning rolled around, I was ready. We decided to be induced so my sisters who had all flown in for the funeral could meet their niece before they left. We arrived at the hospital about 8:00 in the morning and things went very smoothly. My doctor invited Brock to assist in the delivery which was a first for him! She came out with tons of dark hair and weighing in slightly smaller than her sister but still holding her own at 8 lbs. 7 oz. She is the sweetest little thing and we couldn't be happier to have her here safely. After much deliberation & negotiation, we finally settled on a name.

Ada Ann Holt

We think it suits her beautifully.
