Welcome, Madelynn Grace!

KaraLee and I are pleased to announce the birth of our brand new baby girl, Madelynn Grace Anderson! She was born at 3:12 pm on Friday, October 30, weighing in at a very healthy 7 lbs. 5 oz. and 19.5 inches long. If you've been following along with us through this pregnancy, you know what a blessing it is for us to have this beautiful, healthy, strong little girl arrive in a relatively uneventful manner. We'll pleased to report that KaraLee and Maddie are doing great tonight!

Here are a couple pictures of our little beauty taken shortly after her birth. As many of you probably are aware, KaraLee has been battling kidney stones for the past few weeks. We'll post some family pictures, as well as a report on the kidney stones, after the stones have been resolved. Welcome Baby Maddie!!




Pre-delivery KaraLee (this is actually the room she labored and delivered in - I know, it's historic)




Our beautiful little lady. :) I'm just now realizing that most of the pictures I took of her today are probably not "blog appropriate". We'll provide more pictures in our next post. Hooray for baby girls!

Congratulations! She is so cute and I'm glad to hear KaraLee is doing well. The end is so hard and I'm not sure why anyone should have to deal with kidney stones on top of that. I love her name by the way :)
