Caught by mom and dad. Here are a handful of pictures for now:

UPDATE: Her middle name is Nicole.

(I do have pictures between 33 weeks and 40 weeks, but they are my nice artistic ones, and Chris is still putting the finishing touches on them. They should be up soon. But hopefully the birth announcement will be sooner!)
