I'd like you all to meet....
 

our brand new, baby girl, Lydia, born June 30th. I had to have a repeat c-section (since our son was born by c-section almost 4 years ago). She weighed in at 8 lbs 4 oz and 18.5 inches.
She's the sweetest little girl, who only cries when she gets unwrapped or when she wants mommy or a booby. She's a good eater, that's pretty much all she wants to do besides sleeping and cuddling. We couldn't have asked for a better baby to add to our family.
Her big brother, Gunner will be 4 years old on Tuesday, and he's sooo in love with her. He loves to talk to her and give her kisses, then goes back to his puzzles. He's so proud to be a big brother and loves to tell everyone that he has a new baby sister!

I'll stop blabbering and show you all a couple of pictures! I really want to post more, but my arms are still killing me... I was struck with pregnancy-induced carpal tunnel and it hasn't quite gone away yet- my hands and arms are so tingly! Ugh.. but anyway, here she is! :)
