Yes, she is here, and we can't contain our excitement!
This is Janie and me the morning of her big debut. Can you tell I can't wait to have her in my arms?
7 hours and 4 pushes later, she joins us in this wonderful world!

7 lbs 2 oz and 20 inches long

One thrilled mama!
Look at those juicy red lips! And she has her daddy's chin, just like her sister. Red hair was quite a surprise to us!
Meeting big sister for the first time. Carli was enthralled, "She's so beautiful!" She loves to touch her hands and give her kisses on the head. She's always talking about her baby sister and is very protective and sweet with her.
Baby Janie brought Carli a present (the purple bean bag chair) and Carli asks most mornings if Janie can come sit next to her in their chairs.
So happy to be a big sister! "I love you, Baby Janie!"

Things here are happy and hectic for now. We are really grateful to have my sister Shanna here to help for the week. She has been a life saver, has kept us fed and kept Carli busy, and given her a run for her money, while we are getting used to two. We are also so glad Aubrey has been here and has been such a big help too. We are definitely blessed with wonderful families who are willing to do so much for us. We are grateful for the blessings of health and wellness as well. What a beautiful life we have!
