She weighed 6 lbs, 13 ounces and was 19 inches long. She's spending a little time in the NICU, but her mommy and daddy spend a lot of time in there with her. Kaylynn is doing just fine and should be out of the hospital within a week. Everyone loves her to pieces and we think she's quite beautiful. Her big sister Michelle (age 6) thinks having a baby sister is pretty cool.

Here's my son looking pretty darn happy to be holding his baby girl:

Anyway...
