Halle is Here!

Our baby girl has arrived a week early!

The details:
Halle Megan Karis Arvold was born Friday, July 27, 2007 at 3:59am. She is 20" long and weighs 7 lbs, 13 oz.

The short story: We checked into the hospital at 1:57am. Kate had decided she wanted the epidural this time but we found out the anesthesiologist was busy with a c-section. A few minutes later she finished but was whisked away to another c-section. Kate decided to go completely natural and forgo all drugs and finished in record time (both the older brothers were all day affairs)! She's a pro.

The name: Halle (as in Halle Berry- but not named after her) was a name we liked. Megan is Kate's middle name (all our kids get a family middle name first). Karis (actually spelled Charis) is the Greek word the New Testament uses for grace (all our kids get a Biblical middle name second), but Kate likes the letter K better than Ch.

The pictures:
























Kate and Halle should be coming home Sunday, so be sure that more pictures will follow. Thanks for everyone's love and prayers!
