The Official Announcement

Hanging out at home

Kathryn's 1st week

Kathryn Elizabeth

She has impeccable timing is all we have to say. She decided to come out the day before I was scheduled to get induced, so everything was packed and the fridge was stocked and everything was ready. I got my first contraction at 12:30pm and was checked into the hospital by 2:30pm.

Kathryn arrived Wednesday, February 11, 2009 at 6:30pm. She weighed in at 6lbs. 12 oz. and 18 inches (although at the doctor's office 5 days later, she was 19 inches, so I don't know how accurate that hospital measurement is). She is a delight to all of us. Lauryn is so in love with her and can't put her down. Sydney is even warming up to her (after a few days of ignoring her in the hospital).

She had her days and nights flipped for the first 6 days, but now is getting on track - thank the good Lord!
