Crazy to think that I was sporting this baby bump just over a week ago….

….and three days later, I finally got to meet this beautiful little girl!

Corinne Marie was born on March 28, tipping the scales at 8lbs 6oz. 

We had a fairly quick labor and delivery, and though there was a lot of pain involved, I did managed to crack a few jokes during my breaks between pushing to lighten the mood. 

“What… you guys waiting on me?” 

Corinne is such a little bug.  So tiny, and new, and soft, I pretty much eat her up any chance I get. 

Here she is hanging out in Ellery’s doll stroller.  It’s just her size.

Ellery is such a helper and is ALL about the baby girl clothes.  She keeps saying, “Mom.  Isn’t the baby sooooo cute?”.  Yup! 

I see a LOT of pink in my future.

Grant is also being a good boy, though it’s confirmed- he does have a kissing addiction. 

 (Caroline has said he has Bret Michaels lips …awesome, right?….)

His expression here is priceless.  But, tell me I’m not the only one seeing a smidge of Dr.Evil in that grin?!  Watch out Corinne!

Anyway, we are all doing well, kickin’ it at home and learning how to live as a family of five.  Naps are hard to come by (unless you’re a kid of course).  But luckily we have a lot of family and friends who have come by to play with the older two, or hold sweet Corinne for an hour, or feed us, or just hang out on the couch and talk. 

We are so happy she’s here.

Babies are the best!
