Sleep time :)

It is almost 1:00 am and we have settled down in our room (308). Lucy is rooming in with us and she is passed out right now!!! She is zonked because of her long day. She's not real hungry, but we all know that will soon change. Here's some more info on her. In addition to the 7lbs 14oz, she was 20 1/2 inches long. Beautiful pink colored skin and a cute little bow in the hair!!! I don't remember seeing that bow during the delivery. :) btw- I had the opportunity to "assist" in the delivery!! Lucy is so precious!!! I've already lost count of how many kisses she's received from her daddy.

Mommy is doing great!! She's got a little burst of energy right now. She really gets excited over filling out the paper work, going through the free goodies we get from the hospital, etc. :) She is also excited to be able to walk again. :)

I spoke with my Grandma Helen Redick (my mother's mother) earlier in the evening to tell her about the news and lo and behold guess what I found out!! Her grandmother's name was Lucy and her grandmother had a sister named Grace!!! So, Lucy's name comes from her great-great-great grandmother, Lucy Meeks!! How neat is that???!!!

We're heading to bed now. Thank you for all of your wonderful notes and comments. Keep them coming, because there is more to come tomorrow and the many days ahead. :)

I'll post a good slideshow soon of other shots collected throughout the evening. Love you all!!!!!!

Al, Jen & Baby Lucy

PS-Luke and John David are very proud big brothers!!! :)

Hey guys! Can't believe how good God can be! We are so thankful that she is here and healthy. The boyfriends won't stand a chance with two older brothers. We love you all and can't wait for a play date with Evan and little Lucy.
