Isn't this just the cutest shirt? - Eric's mom and dad got it for him!
This was the best pic we could get of brother and sister. Getting a 2 1/2 year old to cooperate is not easy!

It's a Girl!
Oh my goodness. I never thought I'd be saying this - it's a girl!!! Brooke Elyse Petroelje was born at 9:24 this morning. She weighed in at 8 lbs. 3 oz. and was 20.5 inches long. Things went so well! I started some pretty strong contractions at 4:45 this morning, was at the hospital by 6:00, got my epidural at 7:00 (God bless the epidural man!), relaxed for a while, pushed for 5-10 minutes, and out she came! I swore I was having a boy - everything about this pregnancy was just like Grant's, so I was absolutely shocked to hear "It's a girl!" come out of Eric's mouth. Good thing we nailed down our girl name just last night - nothing like last minute decisions! Here are a few pictures:

Congrats you guys!!! How fun!! So cute!! Glad to hear everything went so well!
Congratulations Kim and Eric! She's adorable!! And, of course, we LOVE her name (especially her middle name) :) :) ~Lynnae
It's a girl! Yeah! Is there a hidden "rule" that Dutch babies born in December must be girls? I think maybe.
Kimmy, she's gorgeous. Congratulations and may I just say that you do NOT look like you just gave birth!
Congratulations!! We're so excited to have a little estrogen in the pack of kids ;) Will have to visit you soon, when you are settled a bit at home. Love the pictures, thanks for posting! And, I love how you wrote "epidural man" rather than his professional title. I'm not going to attempt that word either...!
Glad that you're all healthy & well! Talk soon ~ the Kleinheksels
Congratulations!!!! She is absolutely beautiful and your family picture looks just perfect:) Take care and enjoy the holidays with your new little one:)
Congrats Eric and Kim -- you had us completely convinced that it was a boy too! I was so shocked when I read the e-mail saying that you had a baby GIRL! How fun! Enjoy every moment with your new bundle!!
