She's Here!

Kathleen "Kate" Marie Boland decided to come on December 5th.  She was 8 lbs 12 oz and almost 21 inches. The whole experience was amazing. I got to see the same aweseome doctor the whole time. Dave made it to every appointment (which is difficult for an Army PT to do) and took off enough time to only work 5 days this month. My mom came out and took care of the kids so I could spend two days in the hospital recovering and focusing on the baby. I am so lucky.
Everything feels so magical right now. I get to sit and watch my kids play in front of a Christmas tree while I hold my brand new little girl (that for a while, I thought I would never have). Who could for a better Christmas gift?

You may feel like the lucky one, but I think it is that little girl who is lucky. THREE big brothers and two loving parents, that makes for a perfect Xmas. Love to you all....

Thanks for sharing the pics and story. I'm SO happy for you and the whole family. I can't wait to meet the twins and Kate sometime next year! You sound so happy to have a daughter. It is very special. You can do her hair and have many mommy/daughter times of shopping, etc. We think of y'all often. Have a VERY Merry Christmas!
