Award for the first broken bone goes to...



...Makaylee. Yes you read that right, and before you report us to CPS please know this is not a result of any member of our family harming her in any way!
I took her in for her 2 week appointment today and found out she broke her collar bone when I delivered her. I guess it is fairly common when babies come quick, which she did, and are big (average size baby is 7 lbs, so I guess she is considered big). I feel so bad for my sweet girl. However, I will say it is a little relieving to know why she would randomly cry in pain when I would pick her up or change her position when holding her. Her Dr. said it should only bother her for another week.

Makaylee Faith Pickard

This morning at 4:59 am we welcomed Makaylee Faith Pickard into the world. She was 8lbs 30z and 21 inches long at birth. Even though its our fourth the same feelings of shock and wonder overwhelm me. I'm sure Nicole will fill in more details later (hopefully not to many details) but for now here are some pics for your enjoyment.


Waiting on Monday night- eating dinner in the hospital with mom. The excitement of a hospital room wears out after about 5 minutes it seems...




Minutes old...


Makaylee seems to have acquired her dad's ability to sleep...




Some pretty excited siblings...
