Susanna Campbell Johns arrived at 4:36am on Thursday, January 22nd. At 8lbs 1oz, she's nearly a pound and a half lighter than her sister was, so she looks miniscule to us. (Before Thursday, 100% of my baby experience was Lea, so I'd never even held a baby that "small".) Labor and delivery were simple and straightforward; everything went as well as it possibly could have, and we're all doing great. Lea is adjusting well for the most part, a few psych-textbook moments notwithstanding ("Mama, hold me, like THIS, like a baby, because I'm Susanna!").
Thanks for all the well-wishes! It's a happy and hectic time and, with the exception of a frantic run to an appliance store today upon the long-expected demise of our washing machine, we're pretty hunkered down and removed from the rest of the world for a while, which is nice.

Oh Paige she's beautiful. Praise the Lord all went well. Can't wait to read the full story. Lea is adorable as well. Other than your siggy on the message board I don't think I've seen any pictures of her.
Susanna is just beautiful. So glad you were able to have the birth you wanted!! And you look awesome Paige!!
Thanks so much for sharing these birth pictures - what a beautiful experience! We celebrate with you and are so thankful for you!
Everyone's comment here (at DHS) is "How does Paige look SO GOOD? Her hair is amazing, her color is amazing." You do look completely fabulous - such a great first family picture.
Ditto your mom. You ALL look just amazing. It brought tears to my eyes just to see the love you all have for each other. Love you!!!
