Welcome baby #3!

Today we welcomed Katherine Charlotte (a.k.a. Kate, Katie, Chuck) into the world at 2:05PM.

There's nothing Mom enjoys more than filling out hospital paperwork. Absolutely nothing.

This is what preparation looks like. Mom and her delivery nurse are ready to go.

Hello Kate!

Annoyed and showing it.

At 10 pounds 2 ounces, Kate's a big girl.

Kate and her stunning mother relax minutes after delivery. That's right people, MINUTES after delivery. Who looks this beautiful after having a baby? Wow.

Proud papa.

Mom and Kate relax after a very long and tiring day.

Dad and Kate walk around the room together.

Grace isn't so sure at first, but...

Her newest sister's cuteness wins out and she strokes Kate's head. Note the little smile on Kate's face.

Suki took to Kate right away. She loves her new sister but we're trying to explain why you can't poke a baby's shiny eyes. 1-year-olds are funny like that.

Overall it ws a fantastic day. Mom, dad, and the whole family are doing very well (though we're exhausted). More pics to come tomorrow, so stay tuned.
