Welcome Little One!

We just wanted to introduce our new baby girl! More pics will come later, but here are a few for now.
Name: Brooke (no middle name)
Born: July 13, 2009 at 3:17 pm (yay for afternoon babies!)
Weight: 7 lbs, 12 oz (almost a full pound more than Megan)
Length: 19 1/2 inches (an inch longer than Megan)





Here is a "before" comparison--

With Megan at 39 4/7 weeks


And with Brooke yesterday at 39 3/7


I woke up with contractions Sunday night (Monday morning really) around 2:30 am. We got to the hospital at 8:30 am and everything went great! Little Brooke was born just under 7 hours later. Megan got to come meet baby Brooke around 7 pm last night and her first reaction was pretty cute--she lunged to try to touch the teeny baby! I'm feeling good and we'll probably go home tonight after dinner (the food is good, but getting woken up by both a new baby and nurses/techs/etc every hour is not as fun). We hope everyone is having a great week!

Congratulations. I am so glad everything went well. It is bringing flash backs of when I had Jett last year . . . on the same day . . . and about the same time! Crazy similarities. He was a pound heavier though. She is darling. I hope you will let us know if you need anything.

Congratulations! You can't hope for more than an uncomplicated delivery and you get a baby at the end...that is a bonus! It will be great having your two girls so close, that is until they are teenagers and sharing a bathroom!
