Lucille Louise [Lucy or Lulu] was born at 1:08 AM [after the time-change] on November 2nd. She is 6 lbs. 9 oz.—just one ounce less than Charlie at his birth—and 18.5″ long. Everybody is healthy and happy, enjoying some rest and getting to know each other. Charlie spent some time holding, hugging, and kissing his new sister before asking to go back to the fish tank and toys in the waiting room.
Labor was relatively quick and easy. Once Andrea’s up for it, I’ll have her fill you in with all the lovely details.
Thanks so much to all of our family and friends who supported us throughout the pregnancy and brought us gifts and delicious goodies in the hospital. You are all great.
Here are a few more photos:

Charlie is already quite sweet with her. She’s beautiful and Andrea looks quite beautiful herself.
Enjoy the love.

Oh, she is beautiful, and those photos are so adorable!
I don’t know why, I just had this *feeling* that she would be named Lucy. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY. Maybe because right now it’s the top name on my list too??
So of course, I LOVE her name - excellent choice.

She’s so beautiful! I’m happy everyone is healthy though I wonder will Andrea say the birth was “quick and easy”?
I love her name.
Congratulations!

These pictures are so sweet. I’m so happy for you all, glad she is here safe and healthy.
(I was actually wondering how the time of birth works out in the midst of a time change!)

Congrats on version 2! Don’t tell my parents though - I’m number one around here and want to keep it that way…

Lovely, lovely, lovely! Congratulations!

She’s beautiful, congrats! Hopefully your hubby buys you a birthing gift which is what my hubby did when our son was born. I was surprised with a gorgeous diamond ring my hubby bought from http://www.idonowidont.com as my birthing gift after I gave birth. So it was a double special day for all of us.
P.S. Here’s the blog where my hubby read about the birthing gift trend to buy my diamond ring: http://www.idonowidont.com/blog/giving-birth-means-a-nice-gift-for-mom/
Lucille is lovely!

Congratulations!!! What a beautiful baby girl! Teddy is going to love her
Amazing photos… can’t wait to see more! I’m glad to hear things went well and she’s here, safe and sound.
Man, you are lucky!! Under 7 lbs!! Teddy was enormous. I’m struggling over here

I know I’m at the bottom of a long list of comments, but I wanted to say I’m so happy that all is well and that you are 4 people strong in the broadus household. Makes me want to come visit. I’m glad we’re friends even if we never talk or see each other, is that weird?
