Surprise!! Cali Kaye Ethington is here!

We received a late Christmas present this year, yet this gift came earlier than we thought.
On December 28th at 11:41 am, Cali was born. She weighed 6 lbs 6 oz and was 19 1/2 inches long. We are so blessed that she is perfectly healthy, especially since she came nearly 4 weeks early.
Brittany's water broke at 12:30 am and less than 12 hours later the most amazingly cute girl came to us. (I am a little biased) Brittany was just amazing. She did it all with no pain medication at all. No epidural, nothing. I am so amazed by her abilities and thankful for her effort and sacrafice.
Enjoy the pictures!

Good job G-Reg! Welcome to the kid club. You'll have to let us know when your in AZ or up in UT so we can see you guys and little one. Our Tate may be jealous of Cali if she gets the Ethington genes. Right now it looks like he's going to be my 2nd baseman at 5%tile weight and 20%tile height. Anyway, Congrats!

I was about to write on your Facebook page how exciting it is that we are at the end of our pregnancies when I noticed you have a blog. I'm shocked to find out your little one is already here! She is adorable and you guys picked a great name. Congratulations, little girls are such huge blessings. If you're not too overwhelmed check out ours (blog that is) in a few weeks and our little guy should be here too.
