Driver’s Edge Messenbaugh Arrives!

Mom-Reviewer Gives Birth to Daughter
By: Sara Lacey
It’s a girl for Mother Proof’s Mom-Reviewer Courtney Messenbaugh!
Last week, the MotherProofers got behind the wheel with instructors of the Driver’s Edge driving school. The very pregnant Courtney was in attendance to whip around the track, spin doughnuts on the skid pad and slam on the brakes in the braking exercise. We joked that if driving school didn’t induce labor, then nothing would! There was plenty of discussion about naming the baby Driver’s Edge (“Edge” for short).
We’re so excited and pleased to announce that little Driver’s Edge Messenbaugh was born yesterday evening. Because Edge is a girl, we’ve decided that she can go by the name her family has given her, Mary Frances (or Francie). Welcome to the world Francie, we’re so happy you’re here!

Ditto! Courtney, you are so lucky to have a little girl! You know those of us with boy overload might just start sending you loads of frilly pink things…and bonnets. Wait, do driving shoes come in infant sizes?
Welcome to the MotherProof.com family, little Francie Edge! We can’t wait for you to join our clan of little backseat test drivers.
Congrats! For baby #2 I’m sending my Courtney to driving school!
This is officially a first for Driver’s Edge.
We’ve accomplished a lot of things, but inducing labor was one we still had yet to check off the list . . .
Congratulations Courtney!
Congratulations Francie! (although chances are good I’m going to refer to you as Edge-Girl for many years to come . . .)
Hope everyone’s doing great!

I’m in a sleep deprived coma, but feel very lucky to have my little Francie Edge all healthy and ready to go and just as grateful to have all of you as friends. Thanks for the wishes!











Welcome Miss Francie! What a lucky girl you are with such a great family to love you! I can’t wait to meet you!
