welcome lucy forrest

one week before my official due date our little girl decided to join the forrest family. we weren't quite prepared for her early arrival and made a mad dash to the hospital after dropping william at the neighbors. i'd been laboring at home for about 5 hours without realizing it was labor. if i hadn't needed antibiotics she would have arrived within 30 minutes of our arrival, but they slowed me down and she was officially born on october 2 at 11:24pm. here we are moments after her arrival!
she weighed in at 6 lb 13 oz and 20 inches long. she also came with a head full of dark hair. we named her lucy.
grandma shafer was invaluable help during our first week with two kids. she and big brother william were our first visitors. 
william wasn't too interested in lucy but did hold her with help for a brief moment. he was really interested in the trucks she gave him!
grandpa shafer, aunt katie & uncle kurt also visited us. we love being close to family.
she was even chosen as stanfords baby of the week. we love our little lucy and are thrilled to have her join our family.
