Welcome to the world, Charlotte Grace!
We are beside ourselves with joy that you are here!
She arrived one day before her due date on 10/13/11... a perfect 7 lbs, 2 oz and 19 1/2 inches long. With dark brown hair and big brown eyes, she looks a lot like her big sister. She has been such an easy baby so far...sleeping a ton and only crying when she wants to eat! Currently, she is curled up asleep on my chest and I couldn't enjoy it more!

We documented the hours of labor with some photos. This is about 15 hours in. I had gotten an epidural a couple of hours before and was feeling much happier!
After 19 hours, it was decided that a c-section was a necessity. Getting on board with this plan was emotional but the right thing for Charlotte.
Meeting our girl for the first time! The overwhelming flood of love for this child was the exact same as when I heard Annabelle's first cry.
Awake and alert
Bath time with Daddy while I was in surgery and recovery. I think that missing this time is one of the hardest parts of a c-section, however it was a little easier this time because I knew what to expect (and probably because we had been up for 38 hours at that point, and I just couldn't keep my eyes open).
Getting to hold Charlotte for the first time. Perfection.
One very happy mama!
Snoozing together!
Getting some love from Daddy.
First picture as a family of four.! I still can't believe that we have two daughters...wow!
Annabelle meeting her baby sister for the first time. My parents brought her up to the hospital to see us, and as soon as Annabelle walked into the room she said "Let me see that sweet baby girl!" She has held her, hugged her, kissed her, and talked about her non-stop since she arrived.
Grandad getting to know his second granddaughter.
One very proud Nana!
Visiting with Papa and Lola on day 2!
A wonderful afternoon was spent with Ellen and Jimmy.
Beautiful chaos! Welcome to life with two!!
We have had a wonderful week at home together and are slowly learning how to balance an infant and a toddler!
