ok I know this has taken me a while but I have been a little preoccupied-in a good way of course. We are so excited that Callie Jade is here and she is a healthy little girl. I thank the Lord for the miracle of this precious little girl and the safety of her delivery. Ella was right-after all Jesus did tell her it was a girl. I was induced on Thursday and was expecting it to go pretty fast but it actually took longer than I thought but it still went pretty well. As she was coming out Kevin, my Doctor and the Student doctor all were saying the face looked like a boy and it seemed forever for them to turn her over and declare she was a girl. I was thrilled. She has dark hair and it is mostly on the back of her head. Not sure if it will stay dark or not. She weighed in at 8 lbs 9.6 oz. 21.5 inches, 14.25 head and was born at 5:16 pm. I calculated the contest results (hopefully correctly) and there were actually three winners: Kaitlen, Katie F and Janette. I will contact you regarding your prize. Ella was pretty convinced that her name was Dora and actually told me that her name was not Callie but Dora, then she heard me tell someone her name was Callie and she said no it is Dora. However after leaving the hospital she and Rachael were talking and she called her Callie and called her Callie the next day-so we have made it through that little confusion! My sister Rachael took care of the kiddos for me and was a ton of help and I am so thankful to her for that. Hannah also came in right after Callie was born and took pictures. I have yet to see them and am excited too-for now these are the unprofessional ones that we took :) Check them out here. Ella and Roc are both doing pretty well and really do love Callie. They love to kiss her, look at her and hold her. (you may have already seen some on Kevin's facebook) Roc got her going pretty fast in the swing and the bouncy seat so we are working on that!
Well that is it for now-Callie likes to keep me up at night so I need to get all the rest I can get when I can get it!
The first post of many!

OH that is so sweet it made me tear up. She is so precious and I'm glad Ella heard Jesus correctly!! (Don't forget I predicted a girl with 99% accuracy. That should be worth something.)
We love you Callie Jade!!!
Congratulations, Becky. She's beautiful!
