Nicole is Here!

As many of you know, I was supposed to be induced on July 29th, but Nicole decided to spice things up and come on her own July 28th. I started having contractions at 3:45 a.m. and she was born at 7:39 a.m. Luckily, my epidural kicked in before she came! Nicole Christine was 8 pounds 15 ounces (must be from all the chocolate I ate) and measured 20 1/2 inches long. We were surprised with how much hair she has and how curly it is! She is such a good baby and we are so happy to have her in our family.

Ohhhh....she is so sweet! I'm glad everything went well and everyone is healthy. Um, did you just have a baby?? You look way too good! I always love the newborn pictures with their older siblings, pure bliss!

Your Mom looks great too. I swear she doesn't age!

Oh she is so cute. I can't believe all that hair. It is way curly too. I have been checking everyday to see if you had some on here yet. I am so glad you finally do. I am so glad that everything went well and you and Nicole are doing well. I want to come see you guys sometime. I have a check for you too!

Jules. She is so perfect. I am so happy for you. You look amazing for just having a baby but that is to be expected. It is so good to be in touch again. I've missed you and thought about you a lot too.

Congratulations! She is just as beautiful as her mommy! I love all her hair, so precious! It was so good to see you at my baby shower, and to catch up! I have my own blog up now with pictures of my new little man. Are you coming to the mission reunion?
