Evelyn finally joined our family... 6 days late! I thought I was going to go crazy! I did 5 miles at the gym the day before my due date, and it still didn't do anything. We went on tons of long hilly walks, but I'm convinced that babies come when they are ready. I started contracting consistently and frequently at 2am April 8. We went to the hospital at about 6am. Evelyn was born at 5:10pm. My labors with Mckenna and Brielle were 17 hours long each, so this was actually my shortest labor at about 15 hours. The girls were quite excited that she was finally here! They had been just as impatient as I was waiting for her to come.
My wonderful mom came to help us. I really don't know what I would do without her!!! Especially after I have a baby. She is the best at entertaining the older girls so I can focus on the baby. We sure love her!!!
Love these pictures of the girls with Evelyn!

Evelyn didn't have a name for the first 12ish hours. I'm not sure if it's because she is our 3rd girl or what, but her name was a lot trickier to decide on.
Going home from the hospital. She seemed so little in a big carseat
