Brooklyn Hope is here!

The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy. --Psalm 126:3

Our sweet baby girl is here. Born yesterday at 4:46 p.m. 7lbs & 19 3/4 in. She's as sweet and beautiful as her big sisters...except she has A LOT of dark, wavy/curly hair. :) We are absolutely smitten.
Delivery went very well. Brooke's SAT levels look good so far. She has great pink color. She had quite a bit of testing last night (echo, chest x-ray, etc.). She's doing well in the NICU. We will know results on those later today. For now, we are enjoying every moment with our sweet Brooklyn Hope. She will meet her sisters, grandparents, aunts, etc. today. Oh, and I'm doing very well with recovery.
Thank you so much for your continued prayer and support. I will try to update when I can and share more. For now, here are a few photos from her first moments and from our late night snuggles in the NICU...

  5. Yay! I am so happy to see her sweet face. It is amazing to watch you snuggling her. She is beautiful. Tell Abby we all miss her at school and are thinking about her & your family. I showed the kids pictures of Abby's new baby sister Brook on the smartboard today and they were all gushing about her cuteness! Love and prayers to all of you!
