It's a...Greta!

Last night Lori woke me up at 1:30 am and we headed into the hospital. At 4:11 we welcomed little Greta Rachel Heitland, 20 1/2", 8 lbs 2 oz into the world. She has a full head of black hair, and she and Lori are doing very well. We're very excited. Check out the pics below:

  8. Welcome little Miss Greta, and congratulations Heitland family! She is beautiful ... love that DARK hair. She is SO cute! Does she look like any of the other kids as a newborn? What do the girls think? Are they very excited the baby is a girl?

    Praying for rest and grace and a lovely "babymoon" in the days to come.

    Love,
    Rebekah

  13. What a cutie pie! Didn't know yours came with so much hair. Wish I could hold her.

    You look great, Lori! Don't look like you just had a baby ( except for the pride in your eyes ).

    Your whole family is beautiful!

    Much love,

  17. I still can't get over the fact you have 4 kids. I also am excited for Oliver and Greta to become great friends/cousins as the rest of the clan.
    I love you!

  18. Steve, Lori, and family! She is so beautiful! You made Jeanessa's morning as she got ready for school and I read the announcement from the paper! Devon was disappointed it was not a boy! God's richest blessings as you all adjust!
