And then she was here!

Lisa Rachel Marie was born Thursday, June 13, 2013 at 10:57 am, after a short three hours of labor, weighing 8 lbs 8.6 oz and measuring 20 inches long.  The hospital was crazy busy that morning and she was the sixth baby born since 7am.  Bryan and the boys had been hoping for a girl from day one, but I was terrified of the thought of having a daughter.  Bryan was speechless when she first came out and he was told to tell me what we had.  She won all our hearts pretty quickly, though!

Most of the hospital pictures are on my dad's camera yet.  I completely forgot to take them off before they left.  Here's what I do have:

 
 
 
Getting ready to go home--she still doesn't like the car seat.


Oma and Auntie Stacey had been here for the week, hoping to meet the new baby.  I was starting to worry
they would have come and left without meeting her.  Pretty thankful they got to hold her before they left.

Four generations!

Proud grandpa with his two youngest grandkids.

Auntie Stacey lovins'!

First bath at home.
 
Brandon and Micah were so excited about having a new baby sister and they really wanted to show her off at church, but this mama wasn't quite up for all that excitement yet.  So we took some pictures of the boys holding her and printed them out.  I guess they proudly showed those pictures at church to whomever wanted to see them.
 

 

Nope, not ready for a girl at all!  I'm sure it won't be too long before she has more hanging clothes then the boys do, though.  ;)

Grandma's favorite spot--holding her grandkids and reading books on the floor.

Auntie Cheryl and Uncle Andrew came up last week for her baptism.

Lisa's first boat ride--eight days old.



Uncle Bryan was able to come for her baptism weekend as well!




 Precious daughter of the king!
