Introducing....

Oakley Rebecca Anderson born Wednesday February 29, at 7:46 pm. She weighed in at a whopping 8 lbs 14 oz, and was 20 1/2 inches long.  It was a more difficult delivery than my last two, with an epidural that was not the best, added to her size, and she was in a difficult position.  She also had shoulder dystocia, which was a little scary, but we are very grateful for a wonderful doctor and nurses who acted quickly.

It was really fun not knowing the gender until she came! As soon as she was born, the doctor help her up and let Lance announce that it was a girl.  We were very surprised!  For whatever reason, we had both convinced ourselves she was a boy. 

 The kids meeting her in the hospital for the first time.

 Macie was really unsure about the whole hospital situation at first, but after we gave her some time, she slowly warmed up to both me and the baby.  So far she has done really well with the baby.  We're keeping our fingers crossed that it lasts!

 Kaeson loves her!  He loves to hold her and touch her head, and tell her how cute she is.

 Our first picture as a family of six!

Look at that beautiful dark hair! It's not in Kaeson's league, but under all other comparisons, it's a lot of hair!

We think she is pretty perfect and a wonderful addition to our family! We know that our house will be crazy, loud, messy. and chaotic for a while, and at times we will wonder how to get through each day, but we also know we will figure it out day by day, and that we so blessed to have such a wonderful family!
