Adelyn Elizabeth Hughes is here!



"Sister" is finally here and she has a name. Adelyn Elizabeth was born Saturday, March 13th at 5:47am. She weighed 8 lbs 12 oz- that's right 8 lbs 12 oz!!! When the doctor predicted she'd be at least 8 lbs just before I started pushing, I laughed on the inside because I have 7 lb babies (Katelyn was 7 lbs 1 oz)- well, I was proven wrong by having an almost 9 pounder!!! She has a head full of dark black hair, again a huge shock as KG didn't have much hair and it surely wasn't black! She was 20 3/4 inches long and is perfect from head to toe. She is such a laid back little one. I love her chubby little checks, she gets more kisses than should be possible on those things! Katelyn loves "baby Adawyn"- as she pronounces it. We are so in love with our newest addition.
Here is a proud daddy-

...And a proud momma-

...And a proud big sister-

Our first picture as a family of four-

She has already has lots of visitors. Auntie Gera Beth and Grandma JoJo were able to make it to her birth while Bubba stayed at home with Katelyn. Saturday morning after breakfast they came to the hospital to meet Adelyn. Then cousin Joshua, the Cotton's, Shane Walker, Bill Meunch, Jaime, Marcy, Christine, Gary, Linda, Christina, and Cameron all came to the hospital to meet Adelyn. JoJo has stayed with us all week to help adjust to life with a newborn and a toddler which has been such an amazing blessing to us! So thanks to JoJo for coming and thanks to Bubba for letting her be away from the homefront for a week! Byron and Megan are driving down this weekend and then Nanny and PawPaw are flying in on Monday. We were also able to skype with Aunt SaSa last night, so she was able to see those chubby checks via computer... I think it is safe to say that this little girl is already loved by many!
