Welcome Baby Kate!!! 7lbs 2oz..21inches..born at 11:15am

Jess was AWESOME!!! We thought we were in for a very long day because she was only dialated to a 4 after about 12 hours. But after the epidural, she quickly went to a 10 within 30 minutes. The nurse had to hold Kate's head in so she could wait for the doctor. Jess pushed one time and she came right out.

She is our pretty princess and the boys love her so much. Chase was a little unsure at first, but after she had her bath, he warmed right up to her. Nolan had tons of questions like "Why doesnt she have any clothes on when she comes out?" and "Is she kept in a cage in mommys tummy before she's born? Is that why shes so dirty?"

We are so blessed to have a little girl join our growing family and will update pictures soon! Thanks to everyone who called and emailed their support! We love you guys!

Horray for baby Kate. She is beautiful and the boys are the cutest ever! I thought Amanda told me you were having her on the 24th. I am so glad that all is well and this little princess is here. Hank...you must be in charge of posting daily pictures of her now. She will change hourly and I want to see! ;) Jess won't have time for a while. Congratulations! I am so happy for your darling little family.

I am so excited for you all. Girls are such fun. I almost cried reading your post. Jess, you look amazing, and you just had a baby, what gives? Love her name. And love the questions from the boys. A cage, where do kids get this stuff? Glad you didn't go with one of the names the boys picked! Look forward to seeing pictures and updates as you all get adjusted. HUGS
