Ten days ago- she made her debut!!

So now that it's been over a whole week since we met our sweet baby girl, I thought I better get something up on the old blog!  I'm about halfway through her birth story post- but in the mean time wanted to make sure I didn't wait too long to officially announce sweet girl's arrival.

On a side note- I cannot believe we've only known her for a week! It honestly feels like she's been a part of our little family for much longer and we cannot get enough of her!!!

She made her grand debut on July 4th at 4:49am at 8lbs and 3oz and 20.75 inches long.  She was a little smaller than her brother (he was 8lbs and 9oz), but still a big girl- which I love!!! I think I would freak out with small babies!

It was quite the surprise, but the best way we could have asked to spend our Fourth of July holiday.  

Here are just a few pictures in the hospital of our time welcoming sweet baby Madeline Abigail Carter into the world!!

Meeting her big brother!!!

Getting ready to head home on Saturday!!

Look at those eyes!

These two literally melt my heart!!!

Lots more to come on our sweet baby Maddie, her nursery (yeah- it's done!) and our transition to a family of four + 3 dogs!
