So, now that my baby is a full week old, it's probably time that I post some pictures of her.
Sorry it took so long. That baby birthin' stuff can knock one off their feet and it appears that I am just now pulling myself together. Sort of.

Cameron came over that day and took some photos of her with the family. They turned out so nice, I couldn't pick just one to show you. Thank you Cameron!
I think Brent was equal parts happy and terrified. At least I know I was, so I hope I wasn't the only one. It's been a while since we had a newborn hanging around the house.
The hat covers it up, but she does have a head full of dark hair (they always start with dark hair, don't they?) and if I were a betting woman, I'd bet that her eyes are going to turn blue.
All my blue eyed girls. Awe, aren't they cute?
I think that the kids were starting to doubt my claims that a new sister would be coming to live with us. When I told Charlie that I was going to the hospital and the next time he'd see me, I'd have a baby sister for him, all he said was "Ok. Thanks."
They've done really well with her, so far. It's nice to have kids that are a little older this time around. Less diaper changing and potty training and a little more help than my newborn experiences in the past.
I love this one with cousin Davie and all the kidlet hands pawing at the baby. It's going to be the life she knows for a while. She's been such a sweetheart this week, as a new mom (for the 4th time over), I'm feeling pretty lucky.
