Introducing Kinsey Anne Fortenberry

After 40 weeks and 3 days of waiting, we welcomed our daughter into this world. After all that waiting and then all of a sudden she's here! What a blessing! She was 10 pounds and 2 ounces with a length of 21 inches. She's lost a little bit of her birth weight by now. Thank goodness she's long; she just looks healthy.

We are having a ball getting to know her and getting used to normal baby things. We could spend an entire day just staring at her and all the cute faces and things she does. She captivates us!

I know this isn't much for now, but check out the slide show. You can see some pictures from the hospital and a few of our special grandparent visitors.

Alyssa, great job! 10lbs, wow! That's the way to skip the infant stage & jump right into the 6-12 month clothes. Before you know it, you'll have a shopping partner and Andy will be pulling his hair out because she'll be so beautiful. The pics are gorgeous, even the grandparents are good looking! See you guys soon. Joe

Barely home from the hospital and time to create such a cool blog! You are the model of pregnancy and now motherhood! We'll always think of Kinsey now when we hear the J. Mayer song.

In the blink of an eye....an awesome couple becomes a beautiful family. Welcome Home Kinsey!
