Sweet Baby Jane

She has arrived!!
We were so lucky to welcome Jane to the world on June 28th at 12:58 a.m.
She is absolutely perfect and I can't even talk about her without getting a huge grin on my face.  
She was a healthy 7 lbs. 1 oz. and 19 1/4 inches long, our biggest baby yet.  
She came out and took a refreshing breath and cried, which was beautiful to our ears after Olive gave us a scare at her birth.

The delivery went super fast, as I was just about ready to push when we arrived at the hospital.  My contractions went from random 20 or 15 minutes apart to 2 1/2 minutes apart all of the sudden.  It seemed like the longest and bumpiest ride to the hospital!  I am glad that Adam stayed calm and didn,t speed the whole way as I was desperately requesting.

Oh she is so lovely and calm, I rarely put her down, which is why I am typing one handed right now :)

The proud and babealicious dad shortly after she was born.

We are so glad that Jane wanted to come join the fray!  Adam and I stayed the maximum time at the hospital so we could just enjoy one on one time with her.

Liam and all 8 other nephews were thrilled to hold their new little cousin.  

Now that Jane is here our other two babies are so so huge!  Where has 5 years gone with little C?  And boy are Olive's diapers ginormous!
I love how they just swoon over their new little sister.





Since being home things have been awesome!  Yea there are a lot of crazy moments, or sometimes entire mornings of lots of tears, but I don't want to wish any of it away.  I will take a bit drama to have these sillies in my life that make me so content to just be.  They truly mesmerize me.
Welcome Home Sweet Baby!!
