Happy Happy, Joy Joy...

Announcing the arrival of Caroline Kate Box, born 10:37 a.m., July 18, 2008. She was 8lbs, 1 oz, and 20 inches long. She has a headful of dark hair and dark blue eyes. She is a sweet and mellow baby, and she loves to be cuddled and suck on her hands. We are all in love with her!! For Kevin and I it was immediate, and for Lucy too. Lauren was curious but distant for the first couple of days, but now she wants to hold her and kiss her too! It's so sweet to see all three girls together!! Sorry it took so long to get everything up. Thanks to everyone who's been checking in to see how we're doing... if you're interested in the details, check out the post below. All I can say is that we are happy and blessed!!! (and tired!)

Not that I would put a bow this big in her hair, but she has enough hair that I could....

She is BEAUTIFUL!!! That picture of you and her is such a good picture. I am so excited for you all and can't wait to see and hold her for myself! congratulations!

About the epidural - oh my goodness! That ordeal sounds more painful than giving birth. I am so sorry you had to go through that.

She is gorgeous. My middle son, Luke was the same way when we brought baby girl home... he was stand-off-ish... but he came around and now a year later still adores his baby sister... it just took him a few days! And, what is wrong with a bow that big???

She's so pretty! I know your girls are in love. The spinal headache has been one of my fears, I'm sorry you had to go through that! I hope things settle a bit for you now.

Congratulations, she is gorgeous! I really hope you are feeling better...I almost passed out reading the post of the epidural- I am needlephobic as well!

So adaorable. I hope we get to see her this weekend when we're up there. Aislinn was the asme way with Katie. I think she was expecting a playmate instead of a tiny baby.

She is absolutely beautiful! Look at all that hair. Love the hair bow picture. Glad to hear you are doing better. So sorry about the epidural headache. I've heard of that before and I've heard it's really bad. I really enjoyed all of the pictures. Keep doing well! God Bless.

Oh, she is so beautiful! Congratulations!

My epidural wasn't a great experience either, and I am planning to go for the regular drugs (demerol, etc.) and forego the epidural next time. Mine worked on the contractions but not the pushing, and then I had pain and I was sick afterwards for awhile. I'm so glad she's here though and you guys are all getting to be a big happy healthy family!
