Introducing...Lily Belle Colson

As you can tell, we have added a new addition to our family!  We were so excited/nervous!  Of course the day couldn't start without us being LATE!  We had to drive from Lake Jackson to Katy to drop Caleb off at our babysitter's house...then we had to drive to Memorial City (on the way to Houston).  Of course that was the day that there was a HUGE wreck at the exit we needed to take to get to the hospital, which made us 45 minutes late to the hospital!  I wasn't scheduled until 10:30 and they wanted me there at 8:30, so we were okay!  I had Lily by C-Section, and everything went GREAT!  I have recovered pretty quickly and feel great!  Lily has been such a good baby!  She is eating well and growing fast!  Yes, we will probably go broke with all of girls clothes that we are buying, but don't worry, Caleb is getting just as much!  He has transitioned well to his new sister, and we are definitely making sure that we are spreading the love to both kiddos!  Enjoy these photos from Lily Belle's first 4 weeks!

The nurse wheeled me by the nursery to see Lily...as we moved to my room, I saw another baby and commented that the baby was small.  The nurse told me no, that baby was average...my baby was BIG!

Getting ready to leave the hospital!  The nurses were taking FOREVER...I was so ready to get out of there!!!
Lily had to go back to the Pediatrician's office the day after we got back from the hospital.  The doctor was worried that she had lost too much weight, but hadn't lost any from the day before!  Yay!!

Love the pictures! She's a beautiful baby! I'm glad Caleb is adjusting well to his new role of big brother.

How do you get the captions on the pictures like that? Is it complicated?

Hey Mrs.Colson it's me Ashley I just wanted to say what a beautiful name you chose for your baby. Also 3rd grade is pretty hard but i can get through it. Hope you reply :). Byee!!
