Welcoming Brenna


Brenna Catherine arrived Wednesday evening at 10:52pm. While I had plenty of forewarning with my labor starting early Tuesday morning, we may have waited a bit too long to leave for the hosptial...considering I was in the delivery room for 20 minutes before her debut!

She weighed in at 8lbs 4oz and is 21 in long. We all adore her completely! The kids have been enamored and I have averted some near smotherings...more to come of that I am sure!

Dave and I met on Valentines Day at an Institute church breakfast. So, every year to be sentimental and cutesy, I suppose, we go out to breakfast. This year, we obviously opted to stay in, but I can think of no greater way to celebrate than to be with our "big kids" and welcome our new beautiful daughter. It is definitely a Happy Love day!!!

She is beautiful, I especially love the picture of the three kids, they are so cute. I am glad you made it to the hospital, sounds like when I delivered Noah, 30 min after getting to the hospital, it was crazy. Congratulations.

I can't believe that she is already here, I swear you just told me that you were pregnant. Where does the time go. We miss you guys so bad. We will be in Utah all of August so we can't wait to see you and the new baby then!

Kara and David, she is absolutely beautiful. I'm so excited for your family to have a new baby girl in the house. Megan is so excited that she and Brenna share their middle name after grandma!! It's funny because they were actually about the same size too. I know she will bring you all so much joy!! We love you guys and look forward to meeting our newest little niece!!

Congrats! I didn't even know you were pregnant. She is beautiful all ready. My kids look really bad right after they come out. Did you even have time for an epidural?

I just realized the comment I left yesterday didn't post.
Very excited for you, but I want details. I am assuming you had to have had her natural seeing as you barely made it to the hospital. What idid you think about that? How did it compare? Also are your kids at the homspital? How did you swing that?
Happy she is hear healthy and safe and that you don't have to be pregnant anymore! Love ya!
