We never thought I would make it to 39 weeks, but my docter induced me last Wednesday, November 16th. I had been having contractions for about two weeks, so once she started the induction, things moved pretty fast and Catherine arrived at 1:41 pm. She weighed 7 lbs 6 oz and was 19.25 inches long.
She has been a great baby so far and seems to be a good eater, just like her big brother and sister. Conner and Caroline weren't really sure what to make of things at the hospital, but since we've been home, they have certainly warmed up to her and are constantly wanting to hold her. Everytime she so much as makes a little noise, they run to her side to see whats wrong, and if she is crying tell her, "Don't cry Catherine, it will be alright." Super sweet, so we will see if that lasts!
Morning after her arrival.
Ready for newborn pictures at the hospital.
Conner's development continues to explode and he surprises us every day with the things that he knows. He is a fantastic reader, can add and subtract triple digits to triple digits with carrying, has knowledge of all sorts of science topics, can count money and tell time, and is an incredible speller.
