She's Here






Our little girl is here! Katie Louise was born Tuesday, January 6th (her due date) at 6:51am! I will post more about her big debut later but she is healthy and we are all doing really well. I started having strong contractions around 9:30 Monday night and we came into the hospital at 2:30 and by 5:30 I was 9cm dilated. After an hour and half of pushing she made her way into the world. Jeff is a very proud daddy and he was a wonderful coach just like I had expected. Everyone is healthy and we couldn't be happier....more to come later but here are some pictures to enjoy.

I am the first to leave a comment!! I love her so much already and she is so beautiful too. I feel like I am an Auntie and what a great feeling! Seriously, I am so excited, you would think that I gave birth to her. I hope that your labor went ok and it sounds like you pushed for a long time. I, too, pushed for an hour and a half, until I thought that I couldn't do it one more time, but I did and I have the kid to prove it! LOL
Anyway, I feel the same as everyone who knows you and what you have been through...I AM SO SO PROUD OF YOU.
and I love you too. Give Jeff a high five and kiss Katie (a million times) for me. I miss you!

Your Dad and I are so excited - we can't decided who is the most excited about being a grandparent! She's absolutely adorable.

She is precious! I've told my Nate and Sarah, and they are very excited to have a new cousin (first-cousin-once-removed or second-cousin? I can never remember how it works!). I can't wait to watch her grow and show her personality on your blog.

Your cousin, Kym
