On July 14, 2010 Durbin & I welcomed our daughter, Evelyn Catherine, into the world. She weighed 7 lbs 10 oz and was 20 inches long. She's absolutely amazing....perfect in every way! She was born at 3:33pm...the most memorable moment of my life. I was lucky and in labor for about 5 hours from start to finish. Nothing can describe the feeling when the doctor says, "One more push and we will have a baby!" Since Durbin and I waited to find out the sex (yeah surprises), it was an indescribeable feeling and rush of emotion when I realized our new baby was a girl. Durbin said one of his first emotions was...Oh, this just became a lot more expensive:) LOL I can't believe our little princess is already here and has made every day even more special than the one before. Of course she already has Daddy wrapped around his finger! Shocker, right?
It's wonderful that Durbin has about 3 weeks at home to spend with Evelyn and I! I never could have asked for a better husband. He has been more than helpful....with everything! To watch him play with her, talk to her, or even change a diaper......melts my heart! He's even teaching her high five's already:) She's slowly catching on! I think right now her favorite thing to do is poop while daddy holds her and smile while she's doing it! (There will be pictures of that face posted soon)
Durbin and I thank everyone for stopping by to meet Evelyn and are so excited for the rest of you to meet her soon. I'm sure you will love and adore her as much as we do! We had 1 day old professional pictures taken and will be having more newborn pictures taken here within the next several days. I'll get those posted during one of her naps:)
Thank you to our family and friends for making this past week a very memorable and wonderful experience. We are happy to bring a little girl to the world of boys! Girls are just soooo much fun...especially when you're dressing them in all the cute outfits! (Grandma is going nutty with adorable clothes.....Evelyn will definitely be well dressed:))
We love you with all of our hearts Evelyn and are thrilled you are finally here!
