She has arrived!
Good news everyone. Our daughter Olivia Beth was born on April 11, 2006 @ 11:52AM. She weighed 8 lbs 11 ozs (ouch) and was 21 inches long. Hannah and I are so happy and can't wait to post tons of pics. I ran home today to update everyone. I'm sorry it wasn't sooner but I did the best I could. I couldn't bear to leave my beautiful ladies. Well I'm headed back to the hospital to stay with my family. If all goes well, we will all be home tomorrow evening. For all of those curious here's a quick cell phone pic.

Posted by: Punchbugpug at April 12, 2006 11:33 PMGosh, she is GORGEOUS!!! Aren't they just awesome!!! It's brought back memories of looking at my son for the first time (last year) and they're SO new to the world, and yet they seem to be SO WISE!! I was convinced that the bubby, was helping me figure out how to change him and burp him etc. He had this expression on his face like, "this poor girl has NO idea what she's doing, so I'll be nice..." CONGRATULATIONS!!! Eeek I am super excited for you guys!!!!!!!
