Kourtney Lee Merrill

On December 10, 2010 at 12:30 pm, our family life got a little more complicated when we became a family of five. The addition of Kourtney Lee Merrill has been a blessing in every way. Labor and Delivery was altogether the best yet. I only pushed 3 times, through 1 contraction and she was here- which was a blessing because she had the cord wrapped around here neck. Even with the amount of pressure and strain she did feel, all the blood vessels in the face and eyes burst. Miss K was 7 lbs. 19 inches.

 The girls were a little standoffish at first but soon became better acquainted with their new sister.
 Meg is definitely the middle child and certainly has some emotions to work through...
 Miss Kourtney had her first photo session at the house 5 days after she was born.
Our friend Hollie drove from Ketchum just to take K's pictures. They turned out lovely!


She also took a Chirstmas family picture for us.
