Caroline Brynn Bernhisel

Our family was joined by little miss Caroline Brynn Bernhisel at 7:42 a.m. on Tuesday, January 19. This little cutie weighed 7 lbs and 6 oz and was 19 1/2 inches long. She and Karee are doing great following a successful c-section in which everything went smoothly.

Cole and Carter are excited about their little sister, as Carter announced yesterday: "Mommy, I love her" after asking if she could come home to play hide and seek with them. To answer the obvious question, we did not intend to name all our kids with a "C" - Karee's name list of preferred names just happened to be C-centric. We couldn't be more thrilled with our beautiful addition to our family.

Little fuzz head - she thankfully has more hair than Cole and Carter had (and Daddy has) combined.







Brotherly love.

Happy family.

Carter brought a toy for Caroline on his second visit.

So fun you guys. We didn't plan the M thing either with our girls until Maycie. She is so adorable. Kay said the other day at least it is not another m name. Hope the transition to 3 and recovery goes well for Karee. I totally understand the c-sections.

Congratulations! She's so beautiful. We're big fans of C names here (Caleb, Camille and Chloe) though ours weren't intentional either. We just liked them!

Enjoy your sweet baby!
