Today Perri officially joined the family. She arrived a little before 10:30 am and weighed in at 8 pounds 6 oz. She was 20 3/4 inches long. She's got tons of dark hair and we believe that at least one dimple has been spotted. I guess time will tell on that one.
I was lucky to make it to the hospital, with the kids and the grandpas just minutes after she arrived. I got to see her in all her newness and freshness.
I even got to hold her for a bit, after she was cleaned up. I love holding babies, but there is something really special and great about holding a baby fresh from heaven.
It was especially sweet seeing how excited Jack and Brooklyn were to have a new baby sister. The whole way to the hospital, Jack can't talking about how excited he was. I guess 9 months is a long time to wait to meet your sister. I can already tell that Brooklyn is going to be a great little helper.
From a family of 4 to a family of 5!
