SO much to post!!!

Well, Charlotte Mae Shorter was born Thursday night at 11:47pm. She weighed 7.15 and was 20 inches long. I had a pretty good labor, complete with a great epidural (and super high blood pressure... ask me about that later if you want more details)!! From the time we got to the hospital until she was born, about 5 1/2 hours had gone by. But, of course, I had been contracting all day long! So, here is some of the documentation of the last few days.




Super blurry pic, but I took this on Thursday during the day.

My mom is in town for a while. We're so excited to have her here!!




Leaving the hospital this morning.












Charlotte is a great baby. Seriously, she has slept all day despite my best efforts to wake her up. Let's hope this is a trend for nighttime, too. YEAH RIGHT! But she's very sweet and mellow, kind of like Cameron was as a baby. I'm honestly a little nervous about having two kids, especially two in the same room. I knew this would be a pretty big transition for all of us (especially Cameron). Wish us luck tonight!

You look fabulous for just having a baby! Man, I still looked 8 months pregnant the day I left the hospital! Congratulations!! She's beautiful. I hope things have been going well so far with Cameron adjusting (and of course Mom and Dad).

Congratulations Ginnie and Fam! So glad Charlotte arrived safely and that you are doing well too. I hope she is a really good baby for you while you adjust to two.

Congrats! Love the name. You will do great with two. It just takes a week or two to get used to sleeping in the same room and then you won't even notice. Glad to see everything went well.

Congrats Ginnie and Chad! Charlotte is such a beautiful little girl! And don't worry--you'll do great with two! (Seriously, I think eventually it gets to a point where having two is easier than one!)
