Autumn has come...














































I am so happy to announce that our little girl finally got here. I guess I shouldn't complain because she was 8 days early, but those last few weeks seemed to take forever. She arrived on March 11th at 11am after being in labor for 8 hours weighing in at 7lbs 13 oz and 20 inches long. All in all it was a great experience and she has been a wonderful baby.
When she came out and I got a good look at her hair I realized we had another red head. Honestly, what are the odds? Pretty much all the names I had visualized went down the toilet because I pictured them on a blonde or brunette. The one left standing was Autumn. It's kind of funny because a few months after I had Peyton and realized she was a red head I kind of kicked myself for not naming her Autumn because I thought it was the cutest name for a little red-headed girl. So, it was a name that has been on the back burner because I honestly didn't think I would have any more red-heads. Cory is thrilled, because he loves the name and really didn't like any of the other ones I had chosen. Peyton can now say her name pretty well, but in the beginning she put a "b" on the front of it, resulting in "Bottom". What made it worse is that she would walk around saying, "My Bottom!" I almost changed the name on the birth certificate right then and there, but then after working with Peyton for a little bit, we got her to drop the "b". Thank heavens!
