She was born on New Years Day 2005 at 7:58pm. 7 lbs. 13 ozs. and 21" long.
Her apgars were 8 & 9
Mom, Dad, Big Sister Katherine and Lauren are all doing fine. I will post the birth story below the pictures so that those of you, who may not be interested in all of the drama, can get to the good stuff...pics of our larger family. Those who are curious, scroll down.
Since she decided to wait an extra 4 days to be born, she caused mommy and daddy to miss out on the 2004 tax break. Looks like someone is starting out with a good $4000 deficit to her allowance. That's a lot of trash haulin and dish washin. :-)
Lauren looks a lot like Katherine did at birth, but her eyes are much darker and brown. She has a very husky cry but she also squeaks a lot. She's got a touch of jaundice and may have reflux but other than those small things, she's great!
