Welcome to the world, little Lucy Jo!

Well I’ve had quiet the productive weekend! Managed to produce one beautiful child into this world, and life will never be the same. Please welcome Lucy Jo Johnson, who joined our family at 4:42 AM on Thursday the 20th of September. Lucy weighed in at 7lb 4 oz, and measured 19 inches long. We just love her to death and are trying to rest up while I heal and get used to a new way of life around here. Hooray! She’s on the outside now!

minutes after birth, our new family of three!
