Well at 11:30 on Monday night Amy's "water" broke and we headed off to the hospital...Once Joanne got to our place to watch after Esther for us (bless her heart!)

We didn't even plan to match with the orange...it just happened. We had to park way away from the emergency room entrance because they are doing all sorts of construction...and it felt like 0 degrees outside!

Here is the soon to be un-pregnant mama "vouge-ing" for the camera! Feeling pretty good as of now...contractions arn't too brutal!

This is me threatening to touch the "steril" items...I think I was just going stir-crazy!

I know it looks a little nasty...but here is Gracie only seconds old still attached via the cord! She sure had a freeky cone head from that delivery. It all went well, Amy got an epidural and did great! It did hurt for her a bit though! I couldn't imagine...thankfully!

Check out that freak head...crazy how it works out...God's pretty amazing on how it all goes! She looks like a character from Star Wars or something...

Amy sure has some georgous eyes! I hope all my girls get them! Gracie is looking a little swollen up...like she is a boxer. Oh she is 8 pounds 2 ounces by the way...a pound bigger than Esther was!! But she is a half inch shorter!

Esther getting to meet Gracie for one of the first times. She did great and was very happy to meet her new little sister. I would ask her "where is Gracie" and she would point to baby Gracie rather than Amy's tummy like she used too!

The very blessed Papa!

The little chunk in most of her glory...she is as think as a kuykendahl boy!
I had the honor of giving her the first bath!

Our nurse was awesome!!!

And here she is in all her glory!!
I'll post the side by side comparison of her and Esther soon...they sure looked a lot alike!!

Her cheeks are bigger for sure...on both ends!

She has smiled a few times for mamma...this is the tail end of one of them!
