On February 28th, at 5:27pm, we welcomed Brinley Christine into our family. She weighed 8lbs, 1oz, and was 18.5 inches long. She was born on her due date, following in the proud tradition of both of her siblings (Kelli's organizational skills are apparently genetic!). The labor was fast and was definitely our easiest, yet. Kelli and Brinley are both healthy and doing well. Thanks to all of you for the many prayers that were offered on our behalf. We know that we've been richly blessed!
You can see in the photo below that Brinley is already a serious Harry Potter fan like Mom and Dad. She officially became the youngest fan ever after she placed a lightning bolt scratch onto her forehead moments before exiting the womb. (Not to worry, though, since the fingernail scratches should heal quickly...)
The most fun Brinley has yet had came when Allie and Connor came to visit. Connor's had a bit of a cough, so we tried to have the kids keep face masks on when they were near Brinley. The masks didn't last too long, but the smiles on everyone's faces did. At the bottom is a video of the first moment they laid eyes on her.

Congrats! I showed Paxton the pictures and video. He made us watch the video over and over. He was intrigued by her little cry. It was so cute he was calling her baby sissy! I guess he is ready to have his own!
Kelli, you look so good! I love their faces when they saw Brinley. Man, Conner reminds me so much of Noah. Anyway, hopefully you have a great recovery, and congratulations on a gorgeous baby!
