Welcome Tessa Rose

We finally welcomed the 4th member of our family on Saturday March 14th. Tessa Rose was born at 2:59 p.m. weighed 7 lbs 5 oz, 20 1/2 inches long. She has been so much fun! The labor went well. From start to finish it was 4 1/2 hours long and I only had to push for 4 minutes. Kayla loves her little sister. It is a bit of an adjustment for her to get used to the attention shift, but she is doing well. Brandon is out of school for a week for Spring Break so that has been nice because he has been able to help out a lot. As far as we can tell she has my mouth and Brandon's eyes. We feel so blessed to have her in our lives and we love her so much.

That little pink outfit with the ears looks so adorable on her. I can't get over how much she looks like Kayla. Call me anytime you need and i can watch Kayla or bring dinner. I'm not a great cook, but i'm sure i can whip up something edible.

Congrats Britt!!! She is perfect! I am jealous that you had your baby and I still have 4 or so weeks left. O well. I guess that would be weird to have both of our kids have the same birthday. Tell the little daddy congrats too!!!
