Welcome Katelynn -- with pictures

Michelle really was a cute pregnant girl. Some people have a really rough time, and don't look so cute; but Michelle continued to glow throughout and actually lost weight through most of the pregnancy right up to the very end. Our cute neighbors told her that she should be a pregnant model. This is the final bulge right before we went in.
We checked in at the Davis hospital right around 7am. They got her all hooked up and plugged into the Matrix and started downloading some Pitocin by 8. Here she is, all ready to go!
I was coach, and must say our team executed flawlessly. I certainly was instrumental in watching from the sidelines and she wouldn't have been able to get the baby out so impressively without my strategizing. Not to say she didn't play an important role, it just helps when the offense is executed so well.
The Not-so-flattering photo. Typical girl: throw a fit when Dad is trying to take a picture and your makeup isn't perfect.. The first of many "Dad don't take my picture!"
7 pounds 10.2 ounces (21 inches)

Here she is all cleaned up and ready to pose for the pictures. My camera isn't fast enough to take it with her eyes open. She sees the little focus light and quickly shuts her eyes.

All done with the first bath.

Great job Mom!

Great job Dad!

We love you Katelynn!
