We just wanted to wish my little brother John, his wonderful wife Amy, and their four adorable sons Taylor, Jonas, Mason and Sullivan a heartfelt CONGRATULATIONS on the birth of their beautiful baby daughter, and sister...
Carrington Lynn Schwartz
Born October 17th, 2008
7 pounds and 1 ounce
and 20 and 3/4 inches long.
I have been wanting to post about this for a little while now, but I wanted to wait until John and Amy had a chance to post about it on their blog first. As I told Amy on the phone...I didn't want my post to be any kind of a copyright infringement. I assured her that I fully understood that she and John owned all of the copyrights to sweet Carrington.
Proud big brothers (Left to Right: Taylor, Sullivan, Mason and Jonas)
Daddy is already, totally smitten...and get this...HE GOT TO DELIVER HER. (John is in medical school and John and Amy also have a great working relationship with their OBGYN.).JPG)
Look at that angel face...*sigh*....baby love....
And will you look at all of that thick and luxurious hair!!! It won't be long Amy, until you can make use of amazing blogs like this one.Evidently, the first words out of John's mouth after he delivered Carrington were,
"It's still a girl!!
You see...when Amy was pregnant with their 4th child she was told in an initial ultrasound, done by the OBGYN during a Friday appointment, that he was 98% sure she was carrying a girl. This news was, of course, exciting because, though they would have been thrilled with another son, it was exciting to add a touch of pink to the family.
The whole family was very excited for them. 98% chance of a girl was pretty certain, right? Over the weekend, Mike jokingly said at a family dinner to John,
"Well, I hope that last 2% isn't a peni$!" Everyone chuckled...that Mike...he is such a jokester...such a card...
It was so funny... until Monday afternoon when Amy had her official ultrasound with the technician on the 4-D ultrasound machine. The Monday ultrasound revealed that the last 2% was indeed, a peni$.
Mike and I felt so badly...especially because I had told several people about Mike's, "hilarious" comment over the weekend.
So, you can see why John and Amy were thrilled that Carrington was, "Still a girl!"
We love you guys so, so, much and are so happy for you. I can't wait to

So sweet, your sister in law may THINK he loves her most, but that little girl has her Daddy's heart, guaranteed. Beautiful baby, darling name. (all the kids have great names!!)
I do feel a little sorry for the 15 year old Carrington with all those big brothers.
Congrats! I cannot believe the hair. She has more than I do!
we offered to shave her head and fashion a topee for a good (bald) friend of Johns... he didnt think it was as funny as we did... oh, and you can hold (um, kidnap) her anytime... if ti means you get your boys and your but up here first!
Yay for your family! Pink is so fun, I know ALL about it. That is why when my nephew was born a couple of months ago we all cheered! We needed some serious blue after EIGHT squirrly girls...

Okay, I don't even know these people and I'm getting teary! (Dang these pregnancy hormones!) That was a great post. I'm really happy for them! And that hair, yeah--Adam is still bald at 14 months. I love her beautiful locks!
