Kathleen Marie Barnes

On August 6th, 2009 at 11:08 PM Kathleen Marie Barnes arrived! Kathleen weighed 5 lbs. and 13 ounces and measured 19 inches long. Its been an extremely busy couple of days but mom, dad, and little Katie are home now and doing well. Thank you to everyone for you phone calls and emails of congratulations. Below are a few pictures from Katie's birth and her first few days. She has absolutely melted our hearts...

The photos below were taken by the hospital's professional photography service. Let's just say our personal photos aren't quite as nice as these! :-)


In the photo below Kathleen is about 15 minutes old! You may notice that she is mid scream...not too happy initially about entering her new world (ignore how tired mommy and daddy look...it was a long day!) . One of the funniest things about our birth story is that the doctor said "she looks exactly like her dad" before I had even seen her myself. Once I saw her though I had to agree. She is definitely daddy's little girl!
