Millie's Birthday

Happy Birthday Millie!

Kim woke me up Friday (4/20) morning and said, "Donny, I don't want to sound alarmist, but I think today is the day." We went to the doctor's office to see if Kim was in fact in labor. The doctor kept saying things like, "Kim, was your first child a fast delivery?" (He wasn't). Soon after seeing the doctor in her office we were across the parking lot in the hospital prep room. An ultrasound on Thursday indicated that Millie was going to be around 10lbs 4oz. The doctor assured us that these measurements are sometimes wrong. Nevertheless, we opted for another C-Section. At 11:41am, weighing in at a cool 10lbs 3oz (see, the measurements can be off) and 21 inches, Amelia Louise, "Millie," entered the world!

Mother and baby are doing well. It was funny to look through the nursery windows and listen to other people comment. "Awww, look at all the little babi...whoa, look at that one! She must be 9lbs." To which I would reply, "Actually she's 10lbs...and she'll beat up your baby when the nurses aren't looking."
We are all really excited about this blessing from the Lord. It has been a little bit of a shock. I wasn't really prepared for her this week...but we wouldn't want it any other way! We can't wait for each of you to meet her.

Hunter is doing well. He doesn't seem to mind Millie, but he isn't exactly thrilled. He sang Happy Birthday for her, but the end of the video kinda sums up his feelings.
