Introducing...

Harper Ann Pardue
7lb 3 oz
19 3/8 inches

Our sweet baby girl finally arrived at 5:42 pm today! We ended up having to do a c-section because she became too stressed with the contractions. At first I was really upset since I had such a long day, but I was so ready for her to be here... it just didn't matter in the end. Here are a few pictures that Mare and LC took. I am so tired right now, so I don't have the energy to upload photos... I'll do that tomorrow. Enjoy!

Hi! I'm delurking here! I've followed your sister Lindsey's blog since before she even went to take care of Eliana in Guatemala and was so tickled when she got to bring her home! I found your blog through her and have just been following through your pregnancy and praying for you and Harper. Congrats on becoming a Mama! I can't wait to see more pictures!
