Welcome Your Baby Girl: Joyful Ideas for New Parents

Wednesday morning at 6:09 a.m., we welcomed our daughter, Zoe Louise, into the world.

Newborn Zoe Louise

She weighed 6 pounds 12 ounces and measured 19.25 inches long — a full pound smaller than her brother Hunter. Despite being eight days late, she surprised us by being so tiny. The delivery went smoothly, and we are all doing well.

I look forward to writing her birth story and sharing more about life as a family of four. For now, we’re home and focusing on baby snuggles and catching up on sleep.
