Happy Birthday, Evelyn!

Our beautiful girl, Evelyn Louise was born October 1!  After many months of praying, praying that the Lord would allow me to carry her until the scheduled c-section date, He allowed it to be so, and it was such an amazing day!  We can't  believe she is here, perfect, and adds such sweetness to our family.

She was born at 12:18 p.m., weighing 8 lbs, 11 oz. She was 20 and 3/4 inches long.

So far, she sleeps  A LOT!  It's even hard getting her to eat, sometimes.

She's such a sweet girl.  An absolute beauty and already shows us what a precious heart she has. I can't wait to watch her grow!  I know how fast this first year goes, and I know it will probably be even faster compared to Luke's first year.  She already is almost 1 month old- totally CANNOT believe that!  We are soaking in each moment with her as they fly by!

We love you so much, Evelyn!  We can't believe you're here,  yet it somehow feels like you've always been here!  We are so thankful for you and thank God for entrusting you into our hands.

I'll write her birth story some time soon!

Here are some pictures of her first few days...
