Well, our long awaited baby girl has arrived!
Here I am, the night before delivery!
The morning of February 9th, we welcomed a sweet Charlotte Belle into our family.
Charlotte because it's a beautiful name (and I knew a couple Charlotte's growing up who only made the name more endearing) and Belle because she is Daniel's beloved Grandma. I also knew her before she died and she was a sweet, wonderful person.
Here's Dad with his fourth child!
Charlotte was born at 10:59 am and weighed 8 pounds even. She's 20 inches long. She is my "middlest" baby as Andrew weighed 7 lbs and the girls were at 8lbs 5oz and 8lbs 6oz.
Charlotte was delivered "all natural," yes, by choice. Depending on when you start counting contractions labor lasted about an hour and a half or so. Very similar to the timing of Eliza's birth.
(Abby's was a whole two hours long.)
This makes three daughters!
Precious baby girl.
It was just too sweet when the kids came to visit. They were so thrilled! It wasn't long before they were calling dibs on holding their baby sister.
Eliza wanted to check out all of Charlotte's fingers and toes, so we took a few minutes to unbundle her.
The day after our baby was born, Grandma Stewart arrived to be our helper!
She has been so kind and incredibly helpful! What would we do without her!?
2 days old.
Grandma Stewart brought a gorgeous home-made quilt for her grandbaby.
4 of a kind.
A lucky little sister.
