It's a GIRL!!!

After nine long months of anticipation, our sweet baby GIRL made her arrival on August 30th! She decided she was on her way at around 10am. I patiently waited for Mike to get home from work, and we made our way to the hospital around 1pm. The labor went pretty fast & easy -- I was totally shocked, actually! I called my mom (who watched Andrew for us) at around 7:30 or so to tell Andrew goodnight and to report that I didn't think the baby would be born any time soon. While on the phone with her, the doctor came in, so I finished saying goodnight & hung up. Much to my surprise, he was in there because it was time to deliver! Our beautiful little miss Evelyn Jean Barrett came into this world at 7:56pm weighing 7lbs, 4oz and 20" long. The words 'It's a GIRL' were so sweet to hear! She looked nothing like Andrew, which totally surprised me...my whole pregnancy I just assumed this baby would look just like he did. She came out with black hair, and eyes that I think will stay blue! She has the chubbiest cheeks, and is oh, so sweet! Welcome to our lives our sweet little Evie!
