Jen, you’ll get a chuckle from this...Lily looked at Lauren’s pic and ohhed and awweed over her...and then said, “Hey, her mommy looks like MY mommy!!” It’s the cool glasses.
Big congrats from up in the northern tundra!!

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!!

I'm settling in a bit here and gave myself some time to catch up with all of you wonderful ladies this afternoon! I'm so blessed by all of you!

My labor was short and sweet - water broke around 3pm and Lauren arrived after 3 pushes around 8pm.

Lauren is a fantastic little girl - big blue eyes like all her brothers and sisters, dimples (which are currently hidden under fat rolls ), very sweet disposition, and coppery/light brown hair. I prayed so hard for a red head ( )....so maybe the copper highlights will turn into more than just highlights as her hair comes in?? She's nursing great, and gaining enough weight that they laughed at me at the pediatrician's today for her weight check. Lauren's favorite 2-week-old hobby? Napping with Mommy!

4ladsmom - I'm laughing over Lily's comment!! We can rock some glasses, can't we sister!

And Mary - I never knew that you had Lauren pegged for a girls name...and then ended up choosing something else anyway!

Thank you all so much for your prayers for both of us! I feel so blessed to call all of you friends!

I have checked your blog, Jen, several times to get my baby fix ....Lauren is such a sweetheart. Give her a kiss from all of her cyber aunties.
