Great News!

That title should give it away…..right?
Yes, it’s true, no one is pregnant forever. And oh, it feels so good.
Our newest little kissable edition joined us on March 2nd, at 6:46 p.m.
The moment my water broke, the doctor gasped as she told the nurses to step back. She laughed as she announced that she had never seen that much water after breaking the water. And then again as our sweet little baby was born, another batch of waters came flooding out………and the doctor again exclaimed that this baby had so much padding around her. Wow.
I laughed out loud at this point, remembering that I had just shared with you all the day before that my babies are swimming in resort style comfort. That was obviously no joke.
Okay, you ready for the weight? Well, bad news is…….my husband won the bet (from here). Good news is……..she’s a perfectly healthy 11 pound, 22 inch long baby. Funny thing, is that this was my easiest delivery yet. Only 15 minutes of pushing compared to 2 hours with the first and 2 1/2 hours with the second. Thank the heavens above. All three of my deliveries have been miraculous and it’s always amazing to lay your eyes on a brand new piece of life. One who is just waiting to be snuggled and loved. Oooooh, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on her. But they had to check out my little lots-to-love baby before I was able to hold her. I guess having a small baby can be dangerous as well as a big one…
Okay, enough chatter. I can’t wait to share this little lady with you. She’s my reason for being absent for most of the week. And completely worth it.
Ahhhhh….she’s out. And it was finally my turn to hold her after the nurses cleaned her up.
I was completely thrilled.
I was completely thrilled.
And her daddy couldn’t get enough of her either.
For some reason…….looking at a newborn is completely irresistible. And this baby gave me 11 whole pounds to love on.
The next day, both kiddos were so excited to get their hands on her. They were so giggly…….and thrilled to meet their baby sister. Yes buddy, she even has toes. Yep, just like you.
And this little lady felt like she was given a brand new baby doll to hold. Only this one moves and makes noises.
And grandma (my mom) felt completely at ease holding a baby that seemed like one of her own that she gave birth to. Yep, just about the same size as she remembers. (She says that her hair, forehead, eyes, and cheeks are strikingly similar to what she remembers a few of us looking like.) It was too fun to watch her flash back for a moment…
We’re home now and doing well.
And are enjoying some incredibly yummy cheeks.
Thanks for all of the comments and well wishes from the last post. (They really gave me a boost. I even read some while laboring with my epidural in. Ha.) And also for hanging around to see how everything turned out. It’s been fun sharing the details……..and I’m sure there will be more chubby-cheek (and non craft related) pictures in the near future. So thanks for humoring me.

She's beautiful and you look way too gorgeous to have just given birth! Please tell me you fixed up before that picture was taken!

Oh how I LOVE those cheeks! She is precious. So happy you and baby are doing well! And welcome to the "mom of 3" club :)
She is precious. I just wanna kiss those chunky checks…Congratulations. P.s. I HEART your blog!
You made it… You love it! Congratulations!
Are you sharing her name?
aw those chubby cheeks! so glad you have another little one to love on
She is delicious! Congratulations! I can't believe you were able to deliver an 11 pounder without a c-section. You rock!
Congrats, Congrats! I've been thinking about you. (and I don't even know you. haha) I'm so glad everyone is well and healthy!!
Beautiful!
Squishy and Chunkalicious.

Congrats! She is adorable! I love that last photo of her. I love those cheeks.
Congrats Ashley and Family! :0)
Your mom looks just the same as she did when we were in High School! Glad you and baby are doing well!
That is one cute baby! The good thing about big babies is they seem to skip the pruney newborn stage and go straight to adorable! I was 9 lbs 15 oz—my mom's smallest baby and the only one she had an epidural with.
This IS great news! You look absolutely radiant and she's perfect! Glad the labor was the easiest yet and thank you for sharing these delightful pictures.
She's beautiful! And you look absolutely gorgeous! So glad she's here!
ELEVEN pounds!! You deserve a medal! She's gorgeous!

Aww my daughter was born on March 2nd also. She just celebrated her 4th birthday.
Congratualtions!! She's beautiful!! I love those cheeks.
Congratulations! She is beautiful and bigger than my two put together! My daughter was 3lb 4oz and my son was 4lb 10oz. Quite a difference!
Wonderful, beautiful gift from God! Thanks for sharing those pictures. Love the one of your little boy admiring those toesies. Brought tears to my eyes!
AWESOME!!! My TWINS weighed 11 pounds combined! WAY to go! Congrats!
Oh ~ Congratulations!!! She is just a doll! and the smile's on teh kids faces? priceless!!
Congratulations!!! She is simply adorable. Oh those cheeks are just begging for kisses aren't they??
She is truly beautiful!!! Congrats!!
I love squishy cheeks!!! She is beautiful.
I had extra fluid for my son to swim in.
Fortunately for me, that caused my waters to break two weeks early.
Same as you, more kept coming:)
My body doesn't have contractions that I can feel (even at a 6), so if I don't have the extra pressure from the water I go almost a week over, like I did with my daughter. She has squishy cheeks too:)
Congrats to you! How yummalicious are those cheeks?!? As I look at newborns I always think "Oh the adventures that await you!" She will be blessed to have you along for her adventures!
She is beautiful, Ashley! Congratulations to you all. :)
Congrats! She is beautiful!
Oooh – so squishable!!! My baby boy (now 8 weeks exactly) is just now 10lbs 3oz, growing more handsome every day. Big IS beautiful – congratulations!!!
She is so beautiful. I just want to kiss her cheeks. BTW you look fabulous in your pictures. I never look that good after having a baby.
Man, and I thought my little 8 pounder was a chunk!! (Considering that my first was 6lb, 10oz…8 pounds sure seemed like a lot!!) Congrats to you on such a sweet and healthy baby!! Those are some cute cheeks!! :)
Congrats!! 11 pounds in just a couple hours of pushing! Wow you're my new hero!
Glad you're all home safe! She's a doll!
Congratulations! She is beautiful. What is her name????

Oh my goodness… 11 pounds of chubbalicious perfection! I could sniggle her up all day long. She's an angel. Congratulation and kiss all those baby toes for me.
Congratulations! She is BEAUTIFUL! A perfect size too–almost exactly the same size as my first born except my daughter was 22.25 inches long. Other than that, the same size! It is so neat to see other newborns who are a similar size to my own–makes my memories come flooding back!

Soooo cute. Congratulations!!!
Congratulations! She is a beauty!
Congratulations!
Adorable !!! congratulations for all your family !! I'm reading your blog for a long time without leave a comment but.. I can't resist to this beautiful girl ;) hapiness and health welcome baby !!!
I'm glad the miserable-ness of the last of the third trimester didn't drag on too much for you! Congratulations!
Congratulations! I'm jealous..Due in 5 weeks and need some newborn snuggling! I am not envious that you had an 11 pounder, though. Wow! I'm on the road to a 10 pounder, so hopefully she won't surprise us! Oh, and you look amazing having just given birth (an inspiration for me to doll myself up before heading to the hospital). Enjoy those cheeks!
Congratulations Ashley! You made her and love her, lol! She is just precious! What a beautiful baby girl!
Congratulations! She's sooo CUTE!
Oh my goodness, those cheeks! Those Cheeks!!
Congratulations!
The best "Make It Love It" of all time! Congratulations! You have a beautiful family.
The best "Make It Love It" of all time! Congratulations! You have a beautiful family.
congrats. i can't wait to get my little girl to love on too..she comes in june though so i'm crafting for now getting ready!!!
Congratulations. She's adorable!!
She is so SWEET!! I LOVE those cheeks, my boys were 6 lbs. 10 oz. and 6 lbs. 5oz. No squishy cheeks here. Congrats to your lovely family!
AUUUUUGH SO CUTE! There is nothing I love more than a cute little porkchop to love on. Chubby babies are soooo cute! Also it's nice that you don't have to panic right away if they get sick, they're not going to waste away on you in one day. And look at those cheekies!
and Good GRAVY, eleven pounds! hahaha. That's pretty much a three month old right there! I mean, not my three month old. My three month old is 15 pounds and has two teeth. But, you know. OTHER three month olds. ;)
CONGRATS!
She is gorgeous. My little girl weighed 6 lb 14 oz – I can't even imagine 11 lbs and I'm a tall girl too!
Heaven's to Betsy! 11lbs.! My biggest was my easiest too. She's BeaUtiFUl and so are you. Congratulations.
What a beautiful baby! Congratultions to you all!!
Congratulations!! Her cheeks ARE yummy! What a doll baby! You are blessed, indeed, and I love that you laughed during your labor. I laughed with my last baby, and he is the happiest of my 5. :-) Always smiling and laughing.
What a pretty baby, and a beautiful family. Congratulations.
Congratulations. Great to finally have her here!
Congrats!!!! That's the best Make It & Love It yet!!
Congratulations. What a beautiful new baby and beautiful family. Enjoy. Thanks for sharing the pics.

Congrats! She's so beautiful! I LOVE those cheeks! So glad you both are doing well!
Congratulations, she's so sweet! And you look so awesome for someone who just delivered 11 lbs. worth of baby :). Good luck with everything!
She looks a lot like the pic you posted of you, when you were a baby! Holy cow, 11 lbs is huge! 2 of my babies have been 8 1/2 lbs, the other 2 were preemies: one at 4.12, the other at 3.11, so I am all over the board :)
Congratulations on a beautiful baby- she really looks so perfect!!

Ash–you look AMAZING! Congrats, she is absolutely beautiful. Looks like big sister & brother are thrilled to have her :) Hope you all are adjusting well & getting some sleep! Tell that hubby of yours to hang in there for school–we know how rough those first few weeks can be :) Glad that your mom is there to help out–wish we lived close so we could help out too though :(

I am new to your blog. Love all the ideas you've shared. Congratulations on your newest addition, she is such a cutie and you look beautiful as well.
We are expecting our first girl in May and I can't wait to make some of the things on your tutorial. After two boys I am in girly heaven!
Congratulations!! She is so, so, so cute! Love those chubby cheeks. :)
Oh wow 11 pounds. She is absolutely adorable! Enjoy your new baby love!!
She is absolutely gorgeous!!!! my boyfriends sister just gave birthday in january, and to see such a tiny bundle is just the best thing. Shes beautiful. She's got a great mommy, daddy and siblings. :)
Such sweet pictures. Congratulations!
I had three babies. The first two were 6 lbs 3 oz and the third was 6 lbs 1 oz. I figured that was my limit. So an 11 lb baby, to me, is like a 6 month old.
Bless you!
She is beautiful!
11 pounds! You ROCK!
I just found your blog before you got pregnant, so I love that I've been following you this whole time. I was pregnant then too… had a miscarriage in September (at 14 weeks), and now I'm pregnant again… in my 20th week! YAY!
LOVE your blog! Your family is too cute for words. Congrats on your little one (I love names and want to know her name SOOOO bad! LOL). Enjoy her! Can't wait to see more photos as she grows up with your other two cuties! :-D
She is gorgeous! You are glowing and gorgeous too. I've never seen a picture of you before. You are strikingly gorgeous. I'm so happy for you! This makes me want a second! We have a 14 month old. Congrats! We love you!
Congrats! Such great news!
Oh she is so cute! Hope you get LOTS of snuggle time with her. Someone said this great advice to me when I had our little guy: Snuggle as much as you can now with your baby because the rest of "life" and projects, to-do lists etc. can wait and will always be there, but that newborn stage is so fleeting so ENJOY it! (and of course sleep as much as you can :)
Congratulations!!! She is adorable!!! I can't even imagine having a baby that big! My biggest so far was only 6#s 13oz!
Thanks for posting your daughter's newborn photo. She's gorgeous. One tip as a mother to a 11lbs. 14 ozer – expect that she will drop weight exceeding the expected 10%. She's carrying extra water, and she'll equal out in a little while, so just keep nursing! I'm diabetic- we needed a single ounce of formula to get her glucose up, but then it was just nurse, nurse, nurse the mom's milk. The hospital was unfamiliar with the growth pattern of a nearly 12 lbs. baby so they were quite nervous – in case yours is too, hang in there.
Congrats. She is beautiful!
oh Ashley,
CONGRATS!!
She's gorgeous and so are you and your family!
and I'm loving those new guitars today. Very cool!!
Those cheeeeeeks!!!! I had chunky cheek babies too and I STILL nibble on my 15-month-old's squishy little cheeks. They are so irresistable!
Congratulations. She is absolutely captivating.
What a doll!!! Congratulations!
My baby girl is almost 4 months…..and 11 pounds! :) Have fun and enjoy every minute! :)
Congratulations! She is a treasure!
Oh my, she's almost double what my last one weighed! Good work! She's adorable! Congrats!
Congrats and she is beautiful!
Congrats and she's beautiful!
Congratulations! She's a darling little baby! My second one was on the chunkier side too. Love the cheeks and rolls!
Congratulations from Brazil! My husband and my 8 year-old girl, saw some of your pics here, but since last year i've been reading your blog and I LOVE! Your little girl is very very cute, and you have a beautiful family.

Congratulations…!! She's very beautiful !!
Ashley – CONGRATULATIONS!!!
11 pounds… impressive.
Congratulations and best wishes as a family of 5 now.
Oh wow! 11 lbs?! You are my hero! Congrats! She is absolutely beautiful and munchy!!!
Oh my goodness!! Those are the most amazing cheeks! I had a big baby (not quite that big) and I loved it. He didn't feel as "breakable" as my others. I also felt I could get in there and give him some good kisses right off the bat. Congratulations!! Adjusting to another baby is a challenge, but all the newborn stuff is so worth it! ENJOY!
Your precious baby brought tears to my eyes, I have 3 of those too big now. May God Bless you and your family.
how do you look that beautiful after just delivering?!? congrats!
Congrats! She is beautiful! Glad everything went ok! Muah!
Beautiful! There are always benifits to big babys, they love their sleep. At least that was my how it was for me both of my 10pounders.
what a sweet baby…congratulations!
Congrats! My "little" boy was born in Nov at 11 lbs, 5 oz :) We love chubbies :) He was also in the NICU, which was even funnier since he's HUGE compared to the preemies in there. One of the nurses said she had preemie twins that didn't weigh 11 lbs together. She's precious. Congrats again!
I love it. I love her. I love all your kids. I got 5 of my own. But I'll take yours any day.
This is the first time I've seen your site and I LOVE it! You are sooo generous with your tutorials. Thank you! Congratulations on the new baby girl. She is a beautiful baby!
Adorable! Hope you're getting lots of rest too. She's so cute. I can't wait to meet my little man in June now!
Congratulations!! She's absolutely beautiful! Just adorable! I'm glad you are both doing well–and keep the pictures coming!
She looks just like her mama! She is beautiful!!!
I don't really ever comment but I had to post a comment on this. Congratulations to you and your family. How precious are her cheeks!? I have 2 girls and neither of them had chubby cheeks till later. I LOVE chubby babies. Hope all is well.
She is soo cute!! I hade no idea you were even pregnant–Do you have any names yet? Congrats
Hahaha I am totally going to get swallowed up by all these great comments! haha. I just wanted to say congrats! Those cheeks are sooo kissable. It's a big difference from my 5 lbs baby. You look great. You are gorgeous! We have great genes don't we:) Love you cuz! Take care! I hope to meet her one day:)
Congratulations!! I dream of the day that my hubby will say I can have another one!
Congratulations on your not-so-little bundle of joy! She's is beautiful!
OMGsh, she is so precious!! you are one lucky lady to have such perfectly healthy babies. Congratulations!!!
COngrats! What a blessing!
i was ok with not having any more babies until 20 seconds ago. she is adorable. i have big babies too. and i love them. good luck with the next few months. i hope and pray that the transition is easy for you!
Congrats! She is beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations, she IS yummy!!
congrats!! she is just the cutest…i love her chunky cheeks :)
super cute family
Congratulations, she is so adorable!
My oldest son, who is now almost 12 and skinny as a rail, was 11 lbs. 9oz. He was beautiful, and such a great baby. We love those BIG babies! BTW, I'm jealous about you only having to push for 15 min. I had to push for 1 hour and a half. But by the time I got to my 4th one labor was shorter. I love your blog!
she is SO beautiful!!! I love to read your comments, you are a truly happy mama, it is so nice and refreshing to hear that others love motherhood as much as I do.
Wowza, 11 lbs! I can't even imagine what that would be like. She's an absolute beauty! Congrats!
Just found your blog. Congrats. My first was 10lb 15oz.
Just catching up on your blog. Congratulations. Your 1 baby weighed more than my triplets combined birth weights!
