Chloe Shalom Driscoll was born 9/3/10 at 12:14 am. She was 11 days past her due date but came on her own (we didn't have to induce labor). We arrived at the hospital at 8:15 pm and our little girl was born less than four hours later. We were surprised that she weighed only 6 lbs 15 oz and 20 1/2 inches long.
The name Chloe means blossom. We liked that because it ties in with Adi's middle name Rose. Shalom, as most people know, means peace. But it means more than that. It's not like the hippy saying, "peace brother" kind of peace. It's a heavenly, Godly, perfect peace. As one friend wrote it means "nothing missing, nothing broken". After the long rough road we traveled to get here with a second child we couldn't think of a better middle name for our little girl. She's perfect. Nothing missing, nothing broken. Made perfectly by our heavenly Father, so gratefully received and loved by our family and friends. We adore her. 
Our friend Sarah came by today to take some photos of our family and especially newborn pictures of Chloe. Adilyn loves to have her photo taken so we got plenty of her as well. I'm posting a few pictures that we took and I'll post some of Sarah's (which will be markedly better) in the near future.
Adi is thanking God for her baby sister and watching over her much like a guardian angel.
Cam liked the artistic shot of Adi and the crown of flowers I wore in my Aunt Joyce and Uncle Steve's wedding as a little girl.
I snuck a shot of Chloe as Sarah was taking photos and this is one of my favorites.We are all adjusting so well to being a family of four. Adi is such a wonderful big sister to Chloe and Cam has been a wonderful husband to me, father to Chloe and Adilyn and I feel so blessed. Thank you Lord for trusting us to be parents to these two precious girls. Thank you, thank you, Lord!
