Welcome!!!

Well, kids, the days of keeping the fact that Sarah was having a girl from her are over.  That's right - we sisters sent our mom undercover to her ultrasound appointment so that we could know what she was having, even though she and her husband didn't want to know.  It was imperative that we be able to talk about it when she wasn't around, though.  Plus we're all just a little, um, journalistically inclined? (Nate calls that "snoopy").  But who made that seem like it was a really good idea?  Because knowing and not being able to tell was horrible!

And now the wait is over.  Baby Kaylee Elizabeth arrived yesterday morning at 5:33, 7 pounds 8 ounces, 19 inches long.  And she seems just as divalicious as her big sister Lily.  (please reference photo #1)

She's beautiful! And just so you know, we're all officially smitten.  That even goes for Lily, who's now going to have to share the attention in the family.  She seems downright pleased, though, so it looks like she's going to make it just fine.

And with all this baby craze, Nathan and I are getting more and excited to know what our little peanut will be like.  Cute?  Sassy?  Dark-headed or blonde?  Heck, right now, I'd just settle for knowing whether it's a boy or a girl.  Patience is a virtue, right?  Mine will be exercised until August when I can find out.  No worries!

So anyway, congratulations Bryan, Sarah and Lily on the beautiful baby girl, and welcome to the world, Kaylee Elizabeth!!!
