2 weeks old!

Okay, you moms out there can relate- I was so excited today because I fit back into my jeans!!! Hooray! Okay so there still a little snug but I'm getting there and feeling so much better. My sweet little girl has brought so many smiles to our house. She is such a cutie and we are so blessed to have her in our family.



I'm also so grateful for my mom for coming down to help me out. It was wonderful to not have to worry about how I was getting Kierstyn to school and what was for dinner.

Blake's parents were also able to come down and see Devri. Here's a picture of the girls.



Here's Grandpa and Devri sharing a tender moment.

Introducing . . .


Devri Megan Chappell
She joined our family on November 7, 2010 at 1:36pm. She was 7 lbs 8 oz and 20 inches long. We have been anxiously awaiting her arrival and it finally happened! She came pretty quickly and we weren't at the hospital long before she arrived. And we were home the very next day, since everything had gone so well. We didn't even get a picture of the whole family at the hospital. In fact Ben didn't want to hold her and just kept saying how small she was. But we did get a few good pictures. Like this one with big sis, Kierstyn.







Devri has a little bit of hair and right now its dark. Not sure if it will stay that way but she sure is cute. She also has dimples!



Kiersrtyn loves to hold her and is always trying to help mom out. Too bad she doesn't change diapers.



Here is our family. Just enjoying the moment, all except Devri that is.



Ben finally getting more comfortable with Devri and has held her a few times. What a cutie!



Here's a full body shot, so you can kind of see how tall she is. She is a really good baby and we have enjoyed every minute with her.


Sorry I'm slow posting. Hopefully, I'll be more on the ball now that I'm feeling so much better!
