And Baby Makes Five

Saturday, June 30, 2007

It's my pleasure to introduce you to Caroline Jane Bader. She was born this Thursday at 9:49 am, weighing in at 7 pounds 14 ounces and measuring 18 1/2 (short and squatty). Baby and mom are doing great. We're heading home on Saturday after dinner, then things will really get interesting. Here are some more pictures for you to enjoy. Hopefully I'll be able to keep you updated a little more consistently over the internet. If you're bored check back in for more pictures and interesting stories from around the house.

This is me psyching myself up before delivery. Actually it's me freezing in the 58 degree operating room waiting for the doctors to finish prepping Beth.



I figured all kids would like to have a picture of themselves with thermometers put in compromising places


Here are a few of Caroline and the "older" kids (as we now call them). Both are extremely excited, though Luke was a little overwhelmed at first. We're lucky though, in that Caroline, like all children, is quite soft and there's nothing soft that Luke doesn't like.

Luke's dealing pretty well with the fact that we Bader boys are now outnumbered.



Anna really likes her new sister.
