Welcome Home Samantha

Our biggest news is of course the baby. Several requests were made for pregnant pictures, so here is one with only five weeks until our little girls due date. This one comes from a video we made to send to Candace's sister in Germany. We have picked out Samantha Ann for her name, and we think it fits. We are doing really well. Candace was feeling ready as the due date came and went. The doctor scheduled an induction for Friday morning, and so Candace went into labor on Thursday. We joke that Sami wasn’t about to let someone else dictate when she would come. So here is what you have waited for, pictures!

We went to the hospital at one in the afternoon on Thursday, and at 12:25 Sami made her appearance. She was 9 lbs 8 oz and 20 in long. Candace was a trooper, she did wonderful.

Sami wasn’t sure if she wanted her hair washed.

She did get a minute to rest after all the poking and prodding.

Then mommy got to hold her, this was about 4 am.

We thought she was really cute in her car seat as we packed up to go.

Such a cutie! I was on my way up from St. George this week and almost called to see if you had the baby yet. I wish I would have. We'll have to come down and visit.
