Welcome Kellan!

I spent this entire pregnancy thinking that this boy would come early! I was positive about it when I learned that he was about a pound heavier than average at our last ultrasound. I mean I was huge!!

However, despite my predictions, Kellan arrived on July 5 (yep, same birthday as his big sister), two days after his due date - and I even had to be induced. The doctor made the comment before she broke my water that he was "just hanging out" and didn't seem to be in any hurry to come.

Well I sure am glad that I got induced because this big ole boy weighed in at 8 pounds and 15 ounces. Just a few more hours and he might had been a 9 pounder!

Even his feet were huge!!

We were two happy parents!

Of course Brooklee wasn't sure what to think at first, but she almost instantly wanted to hold him and love him. She's a great big sister. 

We missed Brooklee very much! Those two nights in the hospital were only the second time we've spent the night without her since she was born, so we were very excited each time Mom brought her to the hospital to visit with us and her baby brother. We gave her a little newborn Cabbage Patch doll so she could take her new baby home with her (we told her it was her birthday present from baby brother).

And since it was Brooklee's birthday too, Stephean's parents brought a birthday cake so we could have her a little party in our room. Can you tell she loves cake?

We are thrilled that Kellan is finally here!
