Kate Marie Allen
She was born a month early on Sunday Jan. 31, 2010 at 4 lbs 15 oz and 18 In. long, at 9:20PM. She is beautiful but just a little small. We love her sooo much. She is doing great and getting stronger by the hour! She is still learning to breathe more normal and eat normal too. Laura's labor and delivery was awesome. Laura did a great job. Everything was all natural and was about 5 hrs start to finish. Thanks Roxanne for being a great doula and Kristi for being a great coach and me (tim) for not passing out and being there!!!
This is what she looked like yesterday. SCARY !!!!! not a very good thing to see for new parents!!!
This is what she looks like now after just one day!! yea!!
These two pictures were taken by our friend Bethany Cook on Thursday. We didn't even have time to post them yet before Kate arrived. Thanks again Bethany, we are really glad we have these now!! just in time
Here is Mom... Freaking OUT. She is just explaining how she couldn't sleep after the baby was born cause she wanted to be ready for anything. That's pretty much how we all felt the first night!
She is so beautiful!! I am so excited to finally see a picture. I love that even though she is small and a month early, she still has that crazy fluffy hair that Lilly had. Welcome to this wonderful earth Kate. You have some of the best parents around and they will take excellent care of you. We love you guys and please know we are here to do anything for you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a rollercoaster for you guys. Laura is a Rock Star and did such a good job bringing this little cutie into the world. Tim you were also a great coach and so supportive to Laura. Thanks for letting me be a part of things. I hope we can help you get through this next week of craziness. We will be ckecking in often. Love you guys!
