And the Winner is. . . .

Susan Hatch with a guess of 8 lbs and 15 oz.

Ruby Grace was born Nov. 11th 2009 at 5:12 pm
weighing in at a whopping 8lbs 15.6 oz (I say 9 because, well it pretty much is 9 lbs)
and 20 in.

Here's the proof.


Mom and baby are recovering nicely, and big brothers and sister are loving on her, and so far, no one has tried to pick up Ruby without asking.
I'll post the labor story later, although it was pretty uneventful. But in the meantime here are some pictures of our newest addition.

Hip Hip Horray Baby Ruby made it into the world. I was sooooo darn close to the birth weight!! Oh MAN!! She is a cute little thing. Congrats. Oh and I just had to laugh when I saw your painted red finger nails. Girl-you just always got to look good!! And you named her after grandma Ruby-right?? Excited to hear the birth story-even though you said it was uneventful-I think you should add in some drama:)
