It's a girl!


Lindy Pearl finally arrived on Sunday, October 3 at 8:23 p.m.. 

She weighed 8 lbs. 7 oz. and measured 20 1/2 inches long.

The cord was wrapped around her neck twice, but there was no distress and she was born very healthy.

Her face was pretty bruised up, but she was so alert right after she was born it was fun to look at her cute little eyes just taking everything in.

The next morning my mom and the kids came to visit us at the hospital.

Grammie holding Lindy.

We didn't have to talk Avery into holding her at all.  Avery loved it.

The boys on the other hand weren't as interested.  That night they came back to pick me and Lindy up and take us home.

After we put Lindy in some clothes and were waiting for the nurses to discharge us, Avery happily held Lindy some more.


Graham climbed up on the bed and decided he liked her too.

We finally convinced Drake to join his siblings so we could get a picture with all of them.

Then Drake gave us his best smile...

It's nice to finally have our little girl here.

I've been so excited not only to find out if we were getting a boy or a girl, but also just to meet this new little person that would instantly be part of our family.

We already love her so much, and the kids think she's pretty neat too.

And even though the boys were hoping for a brother, they're still very happy to have received a sister.


Welcome little Lindy.  We love you.
