Yesterday was a very exciting day. My best friend, Kristina, had her baby!
Kitelyn Paige was born at 1:07 pm. She weighed 7 pounds 8 ounces and was 21 inches long.
Here is me and Baby Kitelyn.
This birth was a very emotional time for their families. Ty (the dad) has been deployed to Iraq. Thankfully, Ty is still in the States training and hasn’t went overseas yet. So, what do military wives do when their husbands can’t be there? Web cams of course! Ty was able to talk to Kristina the entire day. The reception was perfect all morning. Here is Ty getting to see his baby.
There is no way our country can survive without men and women willing to serve our country. Alot of time we forget what those people have to give up in order for us to live a safe life. So, if you see someone in the Armed Forces, say thanks. It doesn’t matter if you support the war or not… these people fight for your freedom everyday. Saying thanks is the least you can do.

How precious!! You look like a natural yourself Nina! ; )
And I totally agree about the men and women serving in the military. And how awesome that due to modern technology people serving can still take part in such big events! : )

Nina, what a sweet baby and you did a great job describing it all here.
Kitelyn is beautiful and her parents look so sweet, I just wish they coul of been together.
I am sure they will be fine and get through this but it will be tough.

She is beautiful!!! How wonderful that you were there for your best friend. This is something you’ll talk about with Kristina and you’ll tell Kitelyn “I was there when you were born!” Then you and Kristina will cry and laugh! And how wonderful it was that Ty was ‘there’. We’ll keep that Dad in big time prayer, so he gets back home to his family asap! God bless them all.

What a beautiful little baby girl and Mommy is beautiful as well. And even a picture of my Precious Angel holding her best friend’s newborn daughter. Nina, you were there for Kristina during this happy occasion -just another reason why your grandmother loves you so. And Kristina, I know firsthand how hard for you and Ty being separated. Our second child was born while Pa was in the Navy aboard a ship in the Atlantic (1954). You are a strong young lady and you can make it through this!!! My Love to Kristina, Ty and Kitelyn and may our Lord bless each of you everyday. RoRo

Have something else to say. I am thankful everyday that I live in the USA and feel privileged to have all the freedoms we have. During World War II I had 2 brothers and 2 brothers-in-law in the military, and they all came home. It seems that we do not see people exhibit as much patriotism as in the 40’s and that is sad to me. Our military and veterans are super special people and as Nina said let’s remember to thank them. And, Ty, I thank you….
