She's Here!!!!!!!!!

Arrival: March 10th, 2011 4:43 p.m.
Weight: 7 1/2 pounds
Length: 20 1/2 inches


It has been a little busy around here lately, but I wanted to post some photos for everyone to see. We are all doing well, albeit a little sleep deprived. Delivery was surprisingly smooth as I was induced at 9 am and had her at 4:43 pm.....and only pushed for about an hour. You should have seen our cute Dr become a cheerleader!

I do not know what I would have done without the constant support and encouragement of my sweet husband. We've never been as emotional as we were during that labor process and then when she was here. The Spirit was palpable as this little miracle came into our world. From start to finish, we have seen the hand of God in her, unlike anything I've ever seen. She is proof that miracles are all around us, as her coming was against every logical odd.

Having our family and friends surround us and come to see her has meant the world. Her arrival has been anticipated by many, but especially by her parents. We are humbled every minute as we watch and love this beautiful gift.

Congrats you guys!! I'm so happy for you. I laughed when you called the anesthesiologist your new best friend. When I had Owen, I actually told the guy who gave me the epidural that I loved him. Enjoy her. It's the hardest job you'll ever have, but you'll love it!
