Lonne and I flew to Iowa on Thursday because the baby was due on the 14th, Robyn's mom and dad were leaving on a cruise, and we were hoping to be there for the birth of our new granddaughter. Mitch also had tickets to the Iowa-Michigan game on Saturday, and wanted his dad to go to the big game with him. The timing couldn't have been more perfect!
Robyn's water broke early Saturday morning, she had the baby at 10:03 am and the boys were still able to go to the game that afternoon! (The stadium was right across the street from the hospital) It was so fun to be there with Robyn when she delivered the baby. She weighed 8 lbs. 3 oz. and was 20 inches long. She is so healthy and beautiful and we are so blessed to have her in our family! They named her Malia Lani Gubler (Lani pronounced Lonne). Grandpa Lonne will be flying home tomorrow (Monday) and I will stay till Friday to help Robyn and love on my new grand baby. Grandma is in her glory!!! It is so fun to see Mitch and Robyn as parents. Mitch is so proud of his little girl. He wants her all dolled up! When some friends came to visit, he ran up stairs and got her little headband, he hurried and put it on her before he answered the door! It was so cute...I didn't say anything, but I noticed!! Good job Mitch! That's what being raised as the only boy in a family of girls will do to ya! Mom was proud! Robyn is a "Natural" at being a mommy..she is doing such a good job, she doesn't need me, but I'm sure having fun helping anyway! The aunties at home (Gretchen and Lexie) are going crazy, they want to see their new little niece so bad. Thank goodness for picture phones, Facebook and blogs!
Welcome to our family, Malia! We already love you so much!
Malia sucking her thumb right after her birth!
This picture of her dimple doesn't show how deep it is...I couldn't get the camera to take the picture fast enough to catch it in it's fullness! Her dimples are sooooo cute! They're just like her daddy's!
Grandma and Grandpa are so happy they were there for the birth!
