Kathleen (Katie) Ray Palmer

Born 7/20/2009 (Happy Birthday to Tim!) at 4:27 PM. She was 7lbs 6oz and 20.5 inches long. Mommy and baby are doing great, and Katie has a healthy set of lungs.

6:30 AM - Arrived at hospital

Somebody is tired.

I told Tim to get comfortable. I knew it was going to be a long day.

4:27 PM she arrives! YAY!

I predicted she would weigh 7 lbs 4 or 5 oz. I was off by .5 oz. YAY MOM!

I may be tired, but I am as happy as a new mom can be!

And Tim is as happy as a new dad can be...

If the nurse walks in, she will not be happy to see this... (but, I thought it was cute)

All Katrina wanted to do was kiss her and kiss her and kiss her....

Welcome home sign the kids made with Dawnell Benson. She is so awesome! She took the kids for the evening and through the night monday night and had them Tuesday also. She is such a trooper! I am so blessed to know her. Being away from family, I was having a hard time with leaving the kids with somebody else. But she is so sweet and she is someobdy that you know will take good care of your kids and treat them better than you would treat them. :o) It was such a releif to know they were with her.
