Our New Addition!

Shannon Beth
Born: 6/22/09 at 5:52 pm
8 lbs, 1 oz
20 inches long
Less than an hour old.

Delivering her was great! So much easier than the other two. In fact, the doctor and nurses had me laughing and coughing. The nurse put me on oxygen which made me cough. She was coming out and I had had a coughing fit. Well, everytime I coughed, she would come out a little. The staff would laugh. The doctor said that if she came out on a cough, I should name her Robitussin. We laughed really hard. The next morning, he came in and asked how little Robitussin was doing.

The family all together! The kids were so excited.
This was their second visit. She is 12 hours old.

First hair wash- maybe 20 minutes old.

Sister is finally here! Maybe 3 hours old.


Shannon taking everything in. Few hours old.

Relaxing with dad.



Getting ready to go home.
Grandma and Grandpa finally get a turn to hold her.
See her waving!

Finally at home. She is 18ish hours old.


Sleeping...looks just like her siblings. Same mannerisms.

1 Day old.

Oh my gosh she totally does look like your kids though! By about the fourth picture I started to see scotty as a baby! (I guess I don't remember Sarah being that little...I didn't know her then!) But Congratulations! I'm so glad to hear everything went so well! I bet the kids are just loving every moment. I know mine are sooo anxious and Jayden is finally starting to really recognize and love babies! it's so cute! Take care of yourself and keep sending the darling pictures!

Congrats! I've been meaning to call you, but have been thinking about you a lot! She is adorable and I love the name. (My sister's name is Shannon!) She looks so alert for a newborn. Hope all is well! I'll call you soon! By they way, Hayley just had a baby girl too.
