Andra, Ashlee's sister, came out and took some photos of Boxer and Ashlee and then some of all the kids. I want to take a quick moment to thank everyone who made Boxer's arrival special for our family, but most importantly, made Ashlee feel special for her role as a mother and the sacrifices she, and any mother, must make to get these sweet little spirits here.
HER SIDE
Andra: House call foot massage and pedicure, post baby photoshoot, all day baby sitter/entertainer to let Ashlee have some time to rest and recover, Delivery room video recorder/cheerleader.
Auna: Surprise "Baby Shower" planner, Birthing room cheerleader, Dinner provider.
Alexa: House cleaner and post baby outfit buyer.
Aubri: She didn't do crap except send a blanket, but in her defense she lives in AZ, but if she really loved us she would have been here. Her priorities are a little screwed up right now. (Jokes, love ya Aubs)
Bug: Left leg holder and faithful Co-Captain on the delivery room coaching team. We have coached Ashlee through 4 perfect births.
MY SIDE:
My Mom & DW: Overnight baby sitter while we stayed at the hospital for 2 nights. Not too mention Katie and Emily's kids for one night as well(Nine Kids Total).
Katie(Little sister): Birthing Room Photographer/ cheerleader. She lives in D.C. and was just visiting for a couple of days on her way to UT so she stayed an extra night (Much to Mecena's dismay) to help out and welcome Boxer here. So glad she did.
Emily(Sister-in-law): Cherry picker/birthing room cheerleader. She Got to Boise late and made it just in time to see Boxer take his first breath. She didn't have to endure the 14 1/2 hrs. of labor like the rest of us. Just kidding, it was awesome to have her there.
Lynnett: 2 weeks of hard labor to let Ashlee rest and take care of Boxer. We loved having her here.
And then a big thanks to everyone else who brought us meals and visited us in the hospital. We have great friends and family and know that we are truly blessed.
