Sister like Sister
We had this picture of Charlotte when she was about a month old. Low and behold her little sister and to follow suit. Too cute not to share.

Photos
We were able to go get a few pictures taken by our favorite photographer Izzick. He does such a great job, and Charlotte loves him (he is one of the few people who can get her to smile.) We will be sending out photos to family and friends in a weeks or two, but here is preview...

The Girls
Lots of people have commented that Charlotte and Kate look very much alike. We would agree they do look alike, however, they do not look the same. In fact, according to mommy they look quite different. What do you think?
Charlotte about two weeks old.
Kate two weeks and two days old.

They sure do look like sisters!

Katherine Grace Camfferman
Well, we got a bit of a surprise last week... A beautiful baby girl came into our lives!
At three in the morning on Thursday, October 27 my water broke and sent us into a frenzy trying to get everything ready to head to the hospital. I was scheduled for an induction in two weeks, so we thought we had at least that long before our new addition made his or her arrival. Plans changed in a hurry as we dashed though the night to the hospital.
We arrived at the hospital less then an hour later, the contractions were about 2 minutes apart and I was already 4 cm. One hour later I was 5 and only 45 minutes after that I was ready to deliver. I couldn't believe when the doctor proclaimed at 8:45 that we would be having a baby before 9am!
Katherine Grace Camfferman was born at 8:55 Am October 27. She was 5 weeks early, the doctors couldn't find a single thing wrong with her. She weighed 5 lbs. 12 oz and was 19.5 inches long. Perfect.
We feel so very blessed and grateful to have finally made it to her delivery. Many of you know that contractions started at only 24 weeks (16 week before her actual due date.) We were so scared she was going to come too early, but Kate came exactly when she was supposed to. We couldn't possibly feel more relieved that everything turned out so well.
Several people have asked us about her name, mostly how we came up with Katherine. Well, truth be told, we had a horribly hard time coming up with a name. We had a list of several names that were ever changing. Then one day John asked me about the name Katherine, and that was it... her name was Katherine and we would call her Kate or Katie. Her middle name, Grace also came from her dad. Grace was a middle name we had tossed around with a few other names, but John said one day that the name "Katie Grace." would work well for when she was a famous singer. A fitting name for a musician. So, there you have it, simply a good strong name we could both agree on. Now that she is here the name seems to fit her even more so. Her name literally means "Pure Grace of God." Considering the timing of her birth, her name seems oh so fitting.
Here are pictures for those of you not on facebook.
Charlotte holding Kate. Who we are convinced will be "Baby Kate," for the rest of her life!
A kiss for Kate.
These next pictures were taken on the day when Charlotte was 21 months old to the day and Kate was exactly 1 week old.
My sister comes into town on Saturday to help out for a couple of weeks, so we will try and post a few more pictures this weekend once we can catch up on a few things around here. We can't wait for Aunt Becky to get here with cousin Luke. Charlotte is already looking forward to playing with Luke!
