Our Baby Girl

This morning we took one last photo as a family of 5 & then headed off to the hospital all before 7am. All checked in & ready to go we just had to wait for the doctor's arrival. As you can see even when daddy is nervous he's still hilarious. At 9:25am I was taken into the surgery room to prep. By 9:40am the surgery started & by 9:50am our little girl Holly Moon Bolander loudly entered the world. I was wrong, all the nurses & the doctors were wrong because what we expected to be our biggest baby turned out to be our tiniest weighing in at 6 pounds 9 ounces & measuring 18.5 inches long. Daddy made sure to get our traditional welcome to the world photo of our newest addition screaming & then once you were all wrapped up we made sure to capture a photo of you with your proud parents. And then of course it was time to get a photo of Holly Moon with her loving family who will be fixtures in her daily life. Her birth has given daddy the opportunity to have himself a daddy's girl. Then Auntie Kimberly came by followed by grandpa & last but not least Auntie Kayci. We are all so happy to have her in our lives & can't wait to see her change daily. I look forward to everything about her & can't wait to see her meet her brothers tomorrow. Thank you baby girl for entering our lives & for giving us the opportunity to continue the memory of my mother with your middle name. She would have been very proud to see her name passed down to a beautiful baby girl. We love you sweetie! Welcome to our world!

Great pictures. You both look so happy. Welcome to the family Holly-girl! So beautiful and can't wait to hold her. Yes, you'll have to change the name of your blog, Cathy.
Band o' Bolanders, Brigade, Bunch, etc. You'll find a good one. Hugs to the new cutie and also to the boys. Love to all...
