Yep-- she's here!!

This time my absence from blogging was for good reason. So those contractions mentioned in my last post? They were the real deal. Our sweet little Macey Jean arrived on Thursday morning, 8/30/12, at 10:12am. She weighed in at a whopping (ha) 6 lbs, 9oz (thank goodness I turned down induction a few times-- she would've been an even tinier peanut if I hadn't!) and was 19.5 inches long at birth. We were discharged from the hospital this morning (we were required to stay an extra day due to my GBS status, just to be on the safe side). And now we're home as our new little family of four! Camden adores his sister. He talks about her constantly, always wants to know what she's doing, and will go over just to peek at her when she's sleeping. It's pretty much the sweetest thing ever.

I'll post my full birth story when I have more time, but for now, here are a couple of pictures:
