She's Here!!!


We had quite the Easter weekend!
On Good Friday, April 22nd at 8:02 PM 
our new little girl arrived!
She weighed in at 7 pounds 6 ounces and is 20 inches long so she even though the doctors had been telling me for weeks that she was going to be quite small she actually turned out to be bigger than Lillie! Her nickname is "Lola Wren."


 


Lillie has been such a great big sister and so helpful! One of my favorite moments so far was when Lola Wren was crying and Lillie held her hand and kept telling her, "It's going to be okay. I promise." It was so sweet. She's been getting over-protective when other people hold "her baby."
