Baby Brttany Ann

Last week we welcomed a new member to our family, little Brittany Ann Walters. She was 7 pounds and 2 ounces and 19 inches long. She was born at 4:09am March 13th 2011 at Kadlec Medical Center in Richland, WA. Mom and baby are doing good- though mom is a little tired! =D

Mom and dad patiently waited for the hospital to call on the 12th. They finally called at 6:30pm and by 9pm mom was on pitocin and having contractions. At 4:09am baby girl was here (it felt more like 3 as daylights savings time took effect during labor).

Overall the labor and delivery went much smoother than with our last child, Austin. It was an amazing experience to see our little girl born into the world. She was alert and quiet after being wrapped up and snuggled by mom and dad. Since then she has been a sleepy girl, sleeping most of the week away. Dad stayed home from work for a week but as of yesterday he is back. Mom is really really tired and trying to get a hang on breast feeding once more. Austin has enjoyed this past week spending time with cousin Angela and her girls, his friend Quinton from nursery, and meeting his new baby sister.

Thanks everyone who brought meals and offered help. We really appreciate it and we couldn't have done it without you guys!
