Introducing....

Miss KATIE ANN!  Our sweet baby girl made her arrival on Feb 6th.  She weighed in at 7 lbs. and was 18.5 inches long. 
      I started having contractions just before the superbowl so I knew the baby would be here soon.  We went to Gary's parents to watch the game and see his family.  The entire time my contractions stopped so I had a feeling she was going to come during the night. Well I woke up around 12:30 with contractions.  By 4am I hopped in the shower to get some relief and by 5am I told Gary it was time to head to the hospital.  We arrived at 6 and they admitted me to Labor and Delivery.  By 7am I was asking for the epidural since my contractions were coming every 3-4 minutes and were pretty strong.  My doctor ended up breaking my water around 9:30 and the biggest surprise came at 10:55am.  At our 19 week ultrasound they told us we were having a boy.  But when my doctor pulled the baby out she announced, It's a GIRL!  Gary and I just looked at eachother in dead silence.  The doctor then said, Isn't that what you were expecting?  We replied No they told us it was a boy.  She then gave the baby another look and said, That's a girl.  I just laid there crying and laughing for about 10 minutes.  It was such a shock and I am so happy to have another little girl.  I think this is why I couldn't find a boy's name for 18 weeks and we had her name within a day!  She has been such a wonderful blessing and she is such a good baby. 

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Isaac's expression.  He has been so sweet with her.

My three cute kids.  Sarah is really good to her, but we are still working on being SOFT.

Her poor face was pretty bruised but I am amazed at how quickly it went away.

She is one week old in these pictures.

After the first night home I had her in a pack and play, but she didn't sleep well. So the next day my dad put our cradle together and she slept much better.  It is kind of fun having her sleep in the same cradle that I did!

More pictures to come.
