Our Baby Girl is Here!

March 21, 2011 .... at 11 pm, weighing 8 lb 1 oz and meaursing 20 3/4 in long, Megan Cathleen was born. After a long, but smoothe and easy 14 hr induction, she came into this world with a big cheering crowd behind her. Daddy and Grammy were there to help welcome her along with many of mommy's co-workers, doctor, and midwife. She is perfect! Mommy kept looking between her legs just to make sure of the girl parts, while everyone "ooh'd and ahh'd" over her head of dark, curly hair. It was an exciting experience and one that will be remembered forever.


With tears of joy and smiles of happiness, mommy was immediately in love with her baby girl!








Already has Daddy wrapped around her finger.

We just couldn't stop looking at our daughter ... wow, it's for real!



Mommy's precious girl.

Oh ... the pouty lip!

Proud Daddy!

Thanks Grammy for being here for my arrival.

Our first official family picture!

Eyes open ... catch me while you can!



Proud Brothers!














Our Princess!







Megan has 4 personal bodyguards at 2 days old. Watch out!

On our way home!



And the adventure begins ....
