The guest arrives and watch the younger kids play with the Bump N Bounce Body Bumpers.

 She is truly doing amazing. She should be taking her newborn photos soon!

Chad and Erin have said: Our hearts are overflowing with joy at the arrival of our sweet Brooklyn! We have looked forward to this day with so much hope, anticipation, and excitement. God has answered many prayers and calmed many fears throughout this pregnancy, and to hold our little princess in our hands for the first time is truly a miracle and dream come true.

Erin's birth story  with Brooklyn
Erin has revealed that the birth of her daughter was a lot different from the birth of her son. She went into labor late Friday night and was able to get an epidural which is what she wanted with Carson. She was born at 5:42am on Saturday morning!
