She’s here!! Lola Valentine Gummerman was born at 12:34 on May 7th, her mama’s birthday (crazy, right!?!). What a birthday present! Not only do we have the same birthday, but Valentine is also my middle name (it’s the maiden name of my grandmother), and we share the same initials too. She is 19 inches and 8 pounds of pure sweetness and joy, and we are completely in love with her already. We had a bit of a rough start with some time in the NICU and minor surgery for Mama, but everyone is home and doing well and we are extremely grateful for that. We are pretty tired these days, but our hearts are so full as we get to know this adorable little creature. 
Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers for us over the last few weeks and months. It’s time to snuggle in for a bit and enjoy all the precious moments while we can! They don’t stay this little for long! xo. Laura

Congratulations on the new addition. Our daughters are only 5 days apart, with mine born on the 12th of May. My husband opened up for Blaze Ya Dead Homie and Boondox, one of the major underground hip-hop artists, and as soon as they performed their song My Sweet Elana (the song can be found here – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBSaTRbanJ4), I started going into labor. I powered through the motions for a good 3-4 hours at the concert and did not want to leave until the major acts were over.
We welcomed our daughter Lily Noir Elana Northrop around 5.30 the next afternoon.
Congrats. She is gorgeous. Enjoy your time with her. Breathe.
CONGRATS! on the Beautiful baby!

Congratulation! The love with feel for the babies never stop growing!
And now I am kind of ashamed to ask about that super cute dress shirt brand (with the Cats on). Hope that is ok (hiding monkey emoji).
She is beautiful! I am a little obsessed with the name Valentine recently! Nice choice!
Congrats! She’s perfect!
How beautiful, and what a blessing of the Lord! I’m so happy for you. My precious dad was also middle named Valentine, after his Uncle Valentine.
Congratulations! I share a birthday with you both! She is precious!
