Welcome Brooklyn Michelle Hougen!

On Thursday evening, October 20th, I was induced at Genesis Hospital. The next morning, October 21st at 5:51 a.m. Brooklyn joined our family and we loved her instantly!

We were so excited to finally meet her. She was 7 lb, 1 oz. and 19 inches long. We spent 2 nights in the hospital and we were lucky enough to have a couple visitors - Becca and Jake - to the hospital to see Brooklyn. They were equally excited to be her first visitors.

On Sunday afternoon, we came home to say good-bye to Jake and Becca and hello to my Mom and brother Conrad. They stayed for a few days to help me with the baby and let me get some rest since Mike had to go back to school on Monday.
