Phoebe Rose is here...

After a lot of waiting, Phoebe Rose decided to finally grace us with her presence.  She was born on June 6, 2015 at 11:35 p.m. She weighed in at 7 pounds 14 ounces and 21.5 inches long.  Mommy and daddy were thrilled to meet her. 
 Daddy cut the cord
 Such a beautiful baby with a full head of hair.  Mommy wanted Mexican all the time, and it really showed with her hair.
 Daddy getting to hold her for the first time
 Getting checked out for the first time
 First bath.  She didn't cry at all during it. 
 Of course aunt Shannon and Paw Paw came to see her as soon as they were allowed, even though it was 2:00 in the morning!  The little girls tried to stay awake, but didn't make it that late.  Mimi stayed at home with them instead.  Mommy and daddy were at Mimi and Paw's earlier that day, daddy was helping Paw fix the mower.  Mommy kept having contractions for the past few weeks, even going to the hospital twice with them and being sent home after a few hours.  We decided after a few hours of these contractions that MAYBE she was really ready to come.  We finally went to the hospital about 5:30, taking our time getting there.  We were right!
 Paw Paw was so excited to meet his newest granddaughter
 Look at all that hair!  Dark black hair!
 Jocelyn and Daphne getting to meet Phoebe for the first time
 All of daddy's girls.  Daphne loved holding her.
 Jocelyn had to hold her too

 Jocelyn was excited about her.  She is such a good little mama.

 Our little super heroes.  Jocelyn picked out the name "Batgirl" when asked what she wanted to name her baby sister.  It stuck as her nick name.  All three of them are super heroes...Daphne is "Wonder Woman," Jocelyn is "Super Girl", and Phoebe is "Bat Girl."

Some of the pictures are out of order.  These are from the hospital.  It's our first family photo...even the purple dog.  The big girls brought Phoebe a purple dog and a Funshine Care Bear when they came to meet her.
