Our baby girl finally decided to make her grand appearance on Tuesday, November 20! She weighed 9 pounds 10 ounces and was 20 inches long. Yes, you read that right - 9 pounds 10 ounces!! Mom and baby are doing well. We came home from the hospital on Thanksgiving and our baby didn't have an official name! The birth certificate lady told us she would call us today to get the name and we debated until the minute the phone rang. Rob wanted Sadie Jane, but everyone told him that Sadie is a dog's name, so I put the kaibosh on that. We are happy to present Lily Kate. What a great Thanksgiving gift Lily was for our family!Mom & Lily shortly after delivery
So here is Evan's first encounter with Lily. He acted as if nothing was strange at all. Rob brought him in and asked, "Who is that?" Evan said, "That's baby Lily" in a duh tone. Not too much later, Evan looked at my belly and said, "Raegan's in mommy's belly." Apparently he didn't understand that you still look 5 months pregnant after your give birth. He thought Raegan was in mommy's belly because that was one of the names we had suggested to him prior to Lily's birth, and since Lily was here, the remaining bulge by default had to be Raegan. 
Rehearsed, but cute!
Looks just like Evan as a baby.
Precious....
Ditto....
Dad, Evan and Lily pose nicely.
Lily resting in between stomach crunches. This girl is so strong. Of course, you'd expect that from a sumo baby (Rob wrote this--Mandy would never say that).

Oh for precious! You guys are so blessed! What a cute family!
Evan and Lily must have incredibly beautiful grandparents!
Thank you Mandy for going through all that to get us another granddaughter. And thank you Rob for doing whatever you did.
Keep up the good work.
We can't wait to meet her. I can't believe she outweighed me! I thought I was as big as they come. Evan looks like a good big brother.
Oh my gosh Mandy! I feel like such a horrible friend...I didn't even know you were pregnant! It has been so long since I've checked your blog...She is so adorable! Congratulations! I LOVE the name Lily!
Congratulations!! She is so darling! Mandy, I'm not sure how such a little Mom could have such a big baby, but you guys sure did a great job. You guys are such a cute family! I'll be checking your blog for updates.

CONGRATS! Happy Thanksgiving :) Lily is so cute!
Holy cuteness! Congratulations! She's adorable! Does she know about her arranged marriage yet? I already told our boys. They're going to duke it out over her in a few years.
What a beautiful family of four! You all look like you're in heaven. I love the name Lily, and it makes me laugh that you came down to the wire in choosing a name. I'm glad that you won Mandy. Can't wiat to see her in person.
She is a beautiful big baby. That is exactly how big Gavin was when he was born. I am glad to hear that everything is good. Can't wait to meet Lily!
Congrats! She is so cute and I love the name. I can't believe she was so big! You are a trooper Mandy....I'm glad everything went so well. I want to hear about the delivery, so I'll try and give you a call tomorrow. Love ya, Chelsa
Sadie is real cute and Zach Josie says "she (Mandy) looks great for just popping one out!" I'm so excited to see you guys.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! We are so glad she is here safe and sound. I wish we were there to help out in some way. We are thinking of you!!!
Congratulations! Those just happen to be two of my most favorite names.

Congratulations! I was hoping you'd have her soon--hope your epidural went well. Obviously we love the name too!
Congratulations! She is as cute as her name. Thanks for keeping in touch and good luck with 2 kids. Hopefully Evan will handle it better than our Marcus did!
Well, we felt badly that you only had 16 comments when we finally got to check the blog (been in St. George), so we needed to say "Congratulations Robbie, Mandy, and BIG BROTHER Evan! And congratulations to Lily Kate for arriving plump and CUTE!"
We just 'oohed and awed' at the photos, and of course, are extremely excited to see you in a few weeks! Love you all.
She is ADORABLE!!! She looks just like a minature Evan! Wish we could bring you a meal or something :)
Love the name! Love you guys!

Wow...I thought Ammon was big, but Lily's got him beat by more than a pound! Good work, Mandy! She is beautiful. I'll have to let Haylie know that Ammon is bigger than both her boys combined...they'll have a good fight on their hands! Are you going home for Christmas? We need to get together. Congratulations, you guys. You do good work!!!
Congrats! I'm glad that everything went well. We actually went up to the cities last week, but I heard that you'd had Lily, so didn't bother you. I'll give you a little time, but then let's get together... PLEASE! I'm sure the boys would have a blast and I'd love to hold a newborn in my arms again! I hope you're doing well. Please let me know if I can help in anyway... REALLY. 507.226.2206

What a precious little addition to the family. You did good work you two and of course, Evan helped.
Can't wait to see you at Christmas. I got a phone call from Evan today, maybe you did not know it but he talked to me for a few minutes, what a cutie. Can't wait to hold that little Lily Kate, love the name and all of you.
