She Has Arrived!!!

Our sweet baby girl has arrived! Mary-Kate Elizabeth made her way into the world on Saturday, May 3rd, at 6:21am. She weighed a whopping 8lbs 14.4 oz and was 20.5" long. We couldn't believe how big she was! The most surprising thing to me was that she was born with a full head of black hair! Kade was a baldy for a long time, so I never even thought any of my babies would have much hair in the beginning. She is very healthy and absolutely beautiful. We are all doing very well and appreciate everyone's thoughts and prayers. Kade absoultely adores her and begs to hold her all the time. I was blessed with the opportunity to have a natural and med-free birth and am recovering much faster than I did with Kade. I look forward to sharing my story after I have gotten some more rest, but I definitely wanted to take the time to post some pics. You know that I will be filling pages upon pages of pics in the upcoming days and weeks!
