hooray for girls!

after 39 weeks and 5 days, our little girl is here!! born 2 days early (yippee!!), we welcomed paige jacqueline in to our family on april 30th at 2:57........in the afternoon! yes, one of our children arrived at a reasonable hour. i was able to recover from having a baby (which was fast and furious - can't believe i did that again!) before bed time and actually slept the night she was born. poor burton is still the odd one out - paige seems to favor jensen and evan in the looks department (atleast at this stage) - and is our only child that doesn't have an april birthday. funny how that worked out! burton was quick to remind me when i pointed this out that he was the only one born on christmas day which makes him extra special.

we are all enamored with little paige (paigey-face as evan has decided to call her) already and are so very thankful that our little girl made it safe and sound in to our home. we love her to pieces already!!

You're amazing! You just had a baby and already you are blogging! Wow!
She's lovely, Jen. Congrats to you and your boys on your precious baby girl. I love her name too.

Congrats Jen! That is such wonderful news!! We love the 3 - 1 ratio too; it makes for a little girl who is much loved, protected and majorly harassed by her brothers... Glad you were able to get some sleep the night of!

congrats Jen! There isn't a better feeling then not being pregnant any more and there isn't a worse feeling then just given birth.

She is so cute.

Might I also point out that when I saw you, just 3 or 4 hours after having her, you looked so great. I couldn't believe you just had a baby.

Yeah a baby girl! Congratulations, she is such a pretty girl too. Isn't it funny that our Paige was our fourth and we really wanted to be able to have a boy and name her Evan (not that we'd have it any other way now, of course).
Congrats again. I can't wait to go look at the pics on facebook!

Jen, I just want you to know how lucky your baby girl is to have you as her mother! And I think all babies are wonderful but I am especially fond of baby girls! :)
