Welcome Alexandra Margaret!

The newest addition to the Evans family arrived at 4:27 a.m. on April 10. Alexandra Margaret weighed in at 7 lbs. 8 oz. and is 21 inches long.

She came into this world in a hurry. Mom woke up in labour at 1:30 a.m. and woke dad up at 3 a.m. By 3:30 a.m., we realized that we needed to go to the hospital, so we called our friends who were on emergency-middle-of-the-night-Austin-duty to come over. They arrived just before 4 a.m. and we rushed off to the hospital, walking into the labour and delivery assessment room at 4:20 a.m. Seven minutes later, she was born!

Aside from realizing that Alexandra came 'this close' to being born in the car on the side of the 401, everything is fine. Both mom and baby are home and doing well.

Austin met his new little sister for the first time at the hospital and has been doing very well with her at home. He gets very concerned everytime he hears her crying and when she's sleeping in someone's arms he will give 'baba A-e' kisses on the head.

Here's a few pictures taken at the hospital:
