She's Here!!!

She has arrived, and as usual, I am extremely late telling everyone about our new little bundle of joy. (sorry)


She was born a couple weeks ago and weighed 7 lbs 1 oz. and was 19 in. long. She was my biggest one yet. There was some drama getting her here but everything turned out just fine. A serious answer to prayers, and believe me, I was prayin'. Speaking of answers to prayers, Eric was suppose to go into work that night, hence the scrubs, but they let him off, yeah!!! I love having him around. It's amazing, I just never get tired of him. Retirement is gonna be great, huh honey!


So we named her Callie Grace. That was kind of a last minute thing. For all of you that we left hanging about her name, I'm so sorry. We weren't sure up until we had to give the birth certificate information. And I was still wondering if we did the right thing after that. But now we're sure. Callie it is! (For those of you who were curious and didn't already know, the other name we were planning to go with was Leah)


The girls meeting there new sister for the first time. They thought she was pretty neat, still do! Look how light her hair is. All the other girls hair was black, well except for Hayley, she was just bald.


They loved coming up to the hospital. I hope it was because they missed me and not just because Daddy got them lots of "goodies" from the doctors lounge.


And last but certainly not least, a BIG thank you to Auntie Chelsea for holding down the fort for us. It was so nice not to have to worry while we were away. Obviously Callie already feels right at home with her.

Congratulations! She's adorable. Callie will have so much fun with 3 older sisters to "borrow" stuff from. :)

Oh she is adorable, it's good to see the pictures, and know the name, FINALLY! No I'm kidding I guess a new one does make you a little busy. She is adorable though, and I love the name Callie, seems to fit her well. Wish we were there to help out more and hold her. The girls look like they are giving her a lot of sisterly attention though. Keep us posted on all the new fun!
