Welcoming Ruby

On Tuesday we went into the hospital to have our baby. Labor and delivery went well. At 1:44 pm we welcomed little Ruby Ann into our family, weighing in at 7 lbs 3 oz. It took a bit to get our heads around another girl, as I had done a good job of convincing both of us that she was a boy. But what a welcome surprise! She is so content and calm despite her crazy head of hair. Definitely a show stopper like her older sister.It was fun to bring her home and watch the kids welcome and love her.Hudson was holding her when she loudly filled her pants. Dalanie was eager to help change the diaper (we've been explaining how she can help with diapers). She started unsnapping her outfit with obvious gusto and excitement when all of a sudden she saw her belly button. It all came to a screeching halt, she quickly covered it up and tried doing up the snaps. "Uh oh Mom, uh oh!"

I hardly get a chance to hold the baby because Hudson loves to. It was a special treat when he got to feed her a bottle today. He was in heaven.Don't mind the rug burned nose, he got bucked off Brent last night during our little rodeo.
