Introducing Shelby Claire





And you wonder why I haven't posted in a while...

Our new baby girl was born on Nov. 30th. She was due on Dec. 8th, so I was totally unprepared. My water broke about 2 am on the 30th and she was born at 6:04 am. She weighed 7 lbs 2 oz...my smallest baby... and was 19 1/2 inches long.

This first week has gone by quickly. Her brother and sisters are totally in love with her. I feel bad for Madison and Jake though, Madi has a cough and Jake has a cough and runny nose, so their love (especially Jake's) can only be expressed trough kisses to the back of her head. He is not to happy, but I am sure once he gets healthy again, he will enjoy his "face" time again!

We are all doing good. Kind of hard adjusting again to an infant, but we've done it 3 times, so this 4th time should be a breeze... right?
