Evelyn Susanne

Our little Evie was born on Wednesday, February 23 at 9:19 p.m. She was 6 pounds 5 ounces and 19.5 inches long. Here's a short synopsis of the day she was born. I started having regular contractions at about 3 am. My dad came up at about 10 to watch Nina for the day. Tyson and I headed into the hospital at about 11. I was monitored for a bit and they decided to keep me around. At about 2 I was given some Pitocin to help speed up the process.... When 7 rolled around and the nurses changed shift, my new nurse said my doctor was coming to the hospital around 9 for something else, so we may as well have the baby then. Well, sure enough, Evie was born a little after 9 making it convenient for everyone. It was an easy labor, compared to Nina's I guess (is any labor easy?) and a great recovery too.

A little about Evie: She is a mild-tempered, sweet baby. She hardly ever cries, eats well, and sleeps well. She just seems to fit into our family perfectly.

Tyson just loves his little girls. He was the one who picked out Evie's name. He has been a great help to me around the house and with his buddy, Nina.

First family photo. Having just one more kid makes our family feel so much bigger!

Nina took a couple of days to warm up to the idea that Evie was sticking around for the long haul. She has been a great big sister though and is really sweet and gentle to Evie.

Here she is after her first bath. She has awesome light brown hair that I am almost positive she will lose shortly. :(

The girlies in their matching hats.

I love all the sweet facial expressions and cute poses.

I am still so amazed at how tiny she is.
