The new Alvarez baby has arrived! She was born Nov. 7th at 3:27 ish am. Which means Brook and I have been playing Mommy & Daddy for the last couple of days. VERY exhausted, and very rewarding. I am so thankful to be able to help out Mindy and Dean while they are in the hospital enjoying their newest addition. I have a whole new respect for parents and have already apologized to my mom for waking her up in the middle of the night for various reasons. I can’t believe this is baby #5 for them, but although at times the kiddos can be tough and wear you out, they are precious and makes me really look forward to being a mom and getting to pour my heart and soul into little ones. Such a huge responsibility and blessing it will be. Check out some pics of the precious new Baby “Mystery” as the kids have been calling her because they haven’t picked a name yet.

I think they should name her Mara-Kae. Remember when you have a baby to train it to go to dad’s side of the bed in the middle of the night. It makes him feel special. Also, to wake him quietly, so as not to disturb you.
