After a delayed induction on Friday morning, we returned to the hospital on Friday afternoon and had this darling little girl at 5:55 p.m.
She shocked us all by weighing in at 8lbs, 12oz.
We love her to pieces, and are so happy to all be home together.
And I am not pregnant anymore.

Amy says
Congratulations! She is gorgeous. And, having three kids of varying sizes, I'm a firm believer that babies with a little more meat on them sleep better earlier. Hope it's true for you!
Audrey says
YAY! CONGRATS! That is so awesome and she is too lovely. I love all of her hair. My baby girl also surprised us by topping out at almost 9 pounds. Whew. I love your ending sentence. After both of my babies, once I realized I was no longer pregnant, I busted out into massive loads of tears. Yeah, I guess I don't like bring pregnant much. But who would when they have to go 42 weeks? Congrats again ~ hope the next few weeks go smoothly and you're able to rest. Look forward to seeing this little munchkin grow….

There is nothing so magical. I am so happy for you! Her little face looks so kissable. How in tarnation did you fit such a big baby in such a tiny frame? My babies were 8.14 (except the premie), but I looked it! Where did you hide her? So, so excited for your little Christmas miracle.
