It's a girl--Lucy Grace Means

After Eva's water broke (hollywood style) at 8:00 PM Monday at Aunt Terry's house, we rushed off to Enumclaw Regional Hospital. This is our first labor picture four hours later, post-epidural. (notice there are no pre-epidural pictures :).

Lucy Grace arrived at 4:11 AM on Tuesday, 8/26. This photo shows after only a few minutes in this world that she had a hold both her mom and dad.

To everyone's astonishment (except for Eva), Lucy weighed in at 9 pounds 12 ounces, 22 inches long!

A favorite activity of both father and daughter. This has been a rare occurence.

What do you do when the baby is due???

The crazy things people do!! Let's see....baby due in two weeks, what should we do....?? How about replace five windows in the house! Like we need any more excitement. However the home improvements didn't stop there....

Painting the house

And just in case new windows weren't enough, we thought we would paint the entire house, detached garage and picket fence as well....
