Prayers for my Daddy

10 days after Tessa was born my Daddy, Bill Thielhorn, suffered several small strokes following some complications during a routine surgical procedure. He has been in a coma since Sunday, May 23rd. Doctors say his brain needs time to heal the damage that was caused and are unsure when he will "wake up." Please pray for him to heal fully, his medical team to have the knowledge and compassion to work with my father and stregth, hope, and peace for me and my family. I am a strong believer in the power of prayer and I know that God hears us!

Welcome Baby Tessa!

On May 13th, 2010 at 5:29 pm I delivered my third baby girl! Tessa Rae Surratt weighed 8 Lbs. 12 Oz. and was 20 1/2 inches long! By far the largest baby I have ever had (as predicted.) The delivery was difficult. I had to push for over an hour! Whoever told me the more kids you have the easier it gets LIED to me. :) However, all of that work was worth it! Here are some photos from the hospital!

Our first family photo post delivery. (Nothing like birthing a baby to make you look terrible.)

I love Lucie's expression in this photo. She was smitten from the beginning.

Tessa calmed right down when she felt the water!
