It's a GIRL!!!!

Sydney Kate Austin arrived at 4:47 pm on Thursday, April 18th and weighed 7 lbs 6oz and was 191/2 inches long.  My heart is overjoyed with our newest little addition and I was beyond shocked when this baby GIRL was born!!  As you know, I just knew we were having a boy, so this was the biggest and best surprise of my whole life!
We are so in love already.  It's amazing how GOD can allow your heart to love that deeply so quickly! We are all doing well!  I'll have many more pics and the birth story in the days to come!

Here she is!
Right after she was born!


First pic as a family of four!


One very proud big brother!

    Congratulations Lauren!! I know you don't know me at all, but I stumbled on your blog via Katie's Keepers a while back and have been checking in to see what you had. How wonderful!!! I have one little girl and three little boys, and can tell you that you will LOVE being a mommy to a sweet little girl. It's so different than being a mommy to your little boys. I am so happy for you! Best wishes!
