New kid in town...

On September 24th we finally got to say hello to our baby girl, Laramie Rose.

Laramie, brand new

Although it felt as if the waiting would be interminable, when she decided to arrive, she made quick work of it. Labor started about 5 a.m. and Laramie was born at 9:02. She was only a little bigger than her brother, at 7 lb 12oz and 20.5".

Our initial impression is that she resembles Carson quite a bit, but with more delicate versions of his features. Compare this newborn Carson to the photo above:

My mother was on hand to help usher her into the world, as were dad and big brother.

All went well and we were happy to be bringing our daughter back home that evening after a 12-hour hospital visit.

God has greatly blessed us!
