Introducing Evelyn Kathryn Kellbach to the world

Evelyn Kathryn Kellbach was born on Saturday, April 3rd at 11:46AM. She weighs 6lbs. 12oz. and is 20 inches long, almost identical to her older sister when she was born. Isabella weighed 6lbs. 12.5oz. and was 20 inches long. She has a full head of dark brown hair as you can see in the pictures below.

The name Evelyn comes from her great-grandma, Jeanne, who passed away last September. Her first name was Evelyn, but she went by Jeanne. We (Robin) thought about spelling the name Evelynne, she liked it because it was a bit different and also realized that it has the same number of letters as Isabella and vowels and consonants fall in the same places in the names. We used our NCAA brackets to determine how the spelling should be since we couldn't agree.
Kathryn is the name of her Grandma Groves and the middle name of her Aunt Nancy.

Robin will write a more detailed delivery story later, here is my brief account of what happened. Robin had a rough couple of nights, Thursday night she had to work at 11PM from home. Unfortunately things did not go smoothly and she did not get done until Friday morning at 9AM. Robin slept a little Friday morning and a little more Friday afternoon and was looking forward to bed on Friday night. We got to bed a little later than we would have liked and I was woken up at 2:07AM by Robin telling me that her water just broke. It actually took Robin telling me a second time that her water broke as after she said something the first time I guess I said "alright" and promptly laid back to sleep. I have a history of acting as if I am awake and totally with it in the middle of the night when I in fact am totally gone (at least this is what I am told as I really have no recollection of these so called incidents). We called John and Kristy at 2:15AM and asked them to come over so that we didn't leave Isabella alone. They were over in less than a half an hour and we ended up leaving around 3:15AM for the hospital. Robin had her first contraction on the car ride over to the hospital. Robin started pushing at 11:25AM and she gave birth 21 minutes later.
Things are going well with Evelyn and Robin. Below are a few pics.
