LOOK WHO'S HERE!!!
Hehe, I know I was trying to sound all cool and composed in the title with the "Oh yeah, and this happened" nonsense, but NO. Sorry. I'm just going to be squealing and exclaiming and using tons of caps. Got to use caps. IT'S SO EXCITING.
I HAVE A NEW SISTER!!!!!!!!!!!! And now we're finally even, 4 boys 4 girls! :D HURRAY!!!!
*goes away and runs in circles squealing* (also, just saying, Tiger Lily and I did exactly that when we found out Mom was in labour :P Although a little quieter since it was super early in the morning and all the younger kids were still sleeping ;))
 |
| Toblerone was a little wary of her at first, but now he's perfectly enthralled with her :) |
Praise the Lord that everything went smoothly. Very smoothly. It was, as Dad called it, a "textbook delivery". Baby was somewhat quiet at first, but then later proved she had a healthy pair of lungs - which she now uses rather frequently ;)
Everyone else was very excited and fell in love with their new sister. Some took a little longer than others ;) but in the end, everyone was begging to hold her. No shortage of hands to hold this new little one, that's for sure! :D
 |
| We took our traditional photo, where we all line up on the bed, youngest to oldest. It started when there was only four of us kids, I believe. Trust me when I say it was starting to get squishy. . . last time. This time around, we were positively smushed against each other. Seriously, no personal space at all :P It wasn't just the number of children that increased, the body size did too ;) |
Oh, and thank you to all who voted on the poll! There were 26 votes total, which was way more than I was expecting :)
And now I'll finish off this post with a few (haha, who am I kidding? make that more than a few :P) pictures that we took of her over the past weeks.

| I LOVE this picture! Maybe I'm just biased :P She's soooo cute! And her facial expression is just killing me xD |
