So, we had a baby this week. Everything went well and Kelly was really happy with how things worked out at the hospital and such. Overall, everything went quick and smooth and Kelly had the baby about 3 hrs after we arrived at the hospital (she says the worst part was the 40 min car ride to the hospital). We came home yesterday and are just resting now. Kelly's mom is here and will stay for a few days before she heads back home for Christmas. Here's the details and a couple pics. She was 6 lbs 11.6 oz and 20 3/4" tall. All that weight didn't quite fill out her newborn outfit when she left the hospital.
Marlo came along and coached Kelly through the delivery at the hospital. She was a great help and enjoyed seeing birth from a different angle.

Marlo brought the family over this morning and they all took turns holding the baby. This is Eve (4) taking her turn.
Not sure if it's ok to mix animals on the swaddlers, but we're being a bit reckless already.
They say correlation does not equal causation, but Kelly did drop two of these bottles into a chocolate milk shake the morning of the birth. I'll let you decide what that means.
