Alexis Melin

Guest post by Proud Papa (again!) Jess:

I have to say - I won the lottery when it came to having kids. I wanted a boy - we got TJ. Then I wanted a girl - we got Summer. Then I wanted another boy - along came Matthew. To finish out the family and bring balance back to our universe I wanted to finish with another girl and today Kelli let me hit the powerball (even though it was 3:11 AM!). Alexis Melin was born after another quick and flawless delivery by my beautiful wife. We are very excited with the latest addition to the family. I will follow tradition and give you the stats as if I had just landed a nice fish: 7 lbs, 15 oz, 19 1/2 inches long. I guess you can't be 'tall' until you actually stand up for the first time!

Two of my beautiful girls.

I can't tell you how excited Summer is to be a big sister!


Here are the three doctors who made sure the whole thing was a success!

CONGRATS!!!!! She is so beautiful!!! (Actually, she looks just like your other children-they all have a very similar, gorgeous look). I LOVE LOVE LOVE the name. That is secretly the name I liked the best out of all of the ones you mentioned. So exciting!! Was it a super fast delivery again? Was it natural? I can't wait to hear!! Congrats again!

Congratulations! I sort of hate Kelli for her "quick and flawless" deliveries. Maybe if I had those we'd have more kids too! Love to all of you guys!
