Brooklyn Is Here!


Brooklyn is finally here! Sorry it took so long to post something, I know a few of you have been asking to see pictures...as you know, we have been busy at home with baby.

Brooklyn was born at 4:05pm on Thursday, June 19th. She weighed in at 7 pounds even, and 20 1/2 inches long. She came out with a full head of brown hair, just like Ashlyn. Actually, the similarities between the two are quite erie. They are definitely sisters.

I was induced at 10:30am, but they apparently missed with the first Epidural, so my contractions got all messed up. So, we had to do a second Epidural and start the process over again. Once that got all squared away, I pushed one and a half times, and she was here!

Since we've been home, Ashlyn has been a big helper...sometimes too much. We've had a few close calls, but all in all she is a very proud big sister. She loves "Bwoken" and her favorite thing is to hold hands with her. It's so cute. We are so excited to have another sweet baby girl in our family. Enjoy the pictures!
