Introducing...

Karalyn - 6 pds 6 oz - 19 inches

My bro & Jessica aren't quite sure about what they want her full name to be, but this is what was written on her board in her delivery room, so we'll call her Karalyn for now :)

She's the cutest little thing! I headed to the hospital just after Tony got home from taking Alex to school & I didn't even make it in time for the delivery! My SIL had an awesome labor & delivery that only lasted from when her water broke at 2am until about 8:30am when Karalyn came out! How awesome is that? Thankfully Jessica was able to have an epidural before Karalyn was born she didn't have to feel too much of it.

This sweet little girl is such a beautiful addition to our family. I love her so much already. Tony had to go to work today, so I didn't get to spend too much time at the hospital with them, but hopefully I'll see them again this weekend.

I can't wait to snuggle on my own little one . . . just 2 1/2 weeks to go!

Welcome Karalyn, we love you!!

She is absolutely darling!! I was looking on my phone to see what time you called me this morning and you called me at 8:24 when you were on your way to the hospital. That's crazy that she came a few minutes later. How neat that you were able to be there shortly after to see your niece. Wow I can't believe she had her baby pretty quick. I am so happy for them and "Karalyn" is so beautiful. I can't wait to see your beautiful daughter soon:).

How exciting! She is beautiful! She is so long for only weighing that much! I'll bet seeing her and holding her makes you want to have yours so bad! I'm so excited for you! I need to come and see you soon!
