She's here!!!!

Well, she decided to make us wait, but our little baby girl has arrived!!! Josephine "Josie" Miriam Hess arrived on Friday, July 25 at 9:23 a.m.. She was 6 lbs, 14 oz and 19.5 in long. I was able to have a natural birth with her, a completely different experience than with the triplets, and all went very well. (I'll have to write up the whole birth story sometime...maybe when I'm getting more sleep!) Josie fits into our life so perfectly. She has really been a good baby and has been well loved on by her brothers and sister. Here are some pics of our first week and a half with baby girl. :)

Our little peanut soon after she arrived.

The gang all ready to meet their baby sister!

They weren't quite sure what to make of her at first, but soon after were all over her!

Getting ready to head home!

Braden couldn't wait to hold his new sister, he was beaming the whole time.

And of course, Kayla was over the moon. "Isn't my baby beautiful, mama?"

Daniel was the most hesitant, treating her like a fragile doll, but he is so sweet with her.

All hands on deck as we give Josie her first bath!

Life is an adjustment with four kids now, but I've had lots of help from grandmas and friends and it is making settling in a lot easier. Every day I'm feeling a little better and Josie is settling into a routine. It's a new reality for us, but we are just so thrilled to have our baby girl. Now our family really feels complete! Hmmm...guess we may have to change the name to hesstimesfour. :)
