Britta

Meeting their new baby sister for the first time.

Proud Daddy!

 Here she is, Britta Erickson.  I knew that when I found out my due date that I would have this baby on or be in the hospital on my anniversary which was a week before my due date.  Well the night before I knew she was coming on my anniversary.  I had had contractions all day that night they were more frequent and starting to get more intense.  At midnight I knew for sure she was coming soon so I took a shower and waited.  At about 4am I called my sis in law to come watch the kids.  At 5am my water broke and we headed to the hospital.  She was born about 10am that morning. Everything went well.  She looked just like my other kids did with lots of dark hair.  She was 7 pounds. 

Ready to go home.

 We are adjusting well to four babies..  I have lots of help.  It's helps that Britta is a great sleeper so far.  She is a dream baby!  The only thing we had any problems with was her name.  Oh we had a hard time trying to name this baby girl.  We had a name that we had been sitting on since Dottie was born.  But it just didn't sit right although we really did like the name.  The Wednesday before she was born I was watching the Olympics.  Women's Swimming to be exact and there was a German swimmer with the name Britta.  It fit all of Jordan's requirements for a name.  So we tossed the two names around until right before we left the hospital. 

 Proud big brother.  He was not sure about her at first but he slowly warmed up to Britta and now loves her too much.
