Rorie is Here!

We finally had our baby! Rorie Elizabeth Kenison was born May 4th, 2008 at 1:15pm. I started into labor Saturday morning ( a whole week early) and by Sunday morning it was apparent that she wasnt going to wait even one more day. After only (and I say this with ALOT of sarcasm) 2 1/2 hours of pushing she was here. She weighed 6lbs. 14oz. (such a perfect size!) and measured in at 20in.


She has been so much fun to have around and every day she amazes us with how much she has changed and grown. Her best feature is her little rose bud mouth that is constantly (even while shes dead asleep) making cute and funny faces. She absolutely loves her dad and seems to be completely fascinated with him...almost as fascinated as he appears to be with her.

My mom arrived late in the afternoon on Monday just as the three of us arrived home from the hospital. It has been such a help to have her here helping with everything from feeding and changing diapers to cooking meals and doing laundry. I dont know what I would do without her!

We are just so blown away by how wonderful and precious Rorie is and we are so excited to have this new little addition to our family. We want to thank everybody for all the love, support, time and gifts that you have given over the last 9 months. We are truly grateful!
