It's a Girl!!!

Kate Emily Maughan made a very fast arrival on Saturday, February 6th at 12:40 am. Being in the hospital for only 15 minutes before her grand appearance I wasn't able to have an epidural (can I say Ouch?). Apparently the nurses didn't think I was THAT close when they asked me for a urine sample. Do you want the baby to end up in the little paper cup? Everything went great despite tears from both mom and baby. She's perfect, beautiful and such a sweetheart. She weighed 6 lbs 13 oz, 19 inches long. Big brother and sister are so excited to have her but are still a little confused about the whole "she was in mommy's tummy, now she's here" concept.

We don't have pictures to post yet, but the hospital took some gorgeous pictures that you can look at for the next 2 weeks. Just go to bellababyphotography.com, view pictures, and the password is 0206katemaughan. She is such a sweetie and we are so happy she's here, and came in the hospital and not on the road, even though it was close. Happy birthday Kate! We love you!
