Kari Peyton Shedrick entered the world today at 1:45 p.m. EST. My sister, Cindy, and Kari are both doing well after the birth. Kari weighs in at 8 lbs. 10 oz. and is 20.5 inches long.

Dominic, my brother-in-law, says he's already working on how he'll keep the boys away ;) She's beautiful so I wish Dom luck in this endeavor ;)

Ryan is excited and says he can't wait to visit his newest cousin.
