Amelia Jane!

What a ride!!! First and foremost, mom and baby are doing great. At about 9:50 we were just settling in for what we thought would be a long night. Hill started to complain of some much stronger contractions and just like that she was fully dilated. She pushed for 15 min and out she came. Hill was a rock star, a champion. She did great. The stats:
Weight - 6 lbs. 13 oz.
Height - 19 inches
Hair - yes
Born at 10:18 pm on Mother's Day!!!!

Everything went great. The epidural was perfect. The OB's were awesome. What a perfect Mother's day. Now for the pictures.


I absolutely love this picture!

Just a nice snuggle with mama and a thanks for all of her hard work.

Dad is hard at work putting on the first diaper. This is what put him over the edge. He is exhausted.

"Amelia, give me your best Bitter Beer Face! Excellent."

You get in fight with someone? The delivery was so quick that she got a little bruised up.

Nice job mom! You did it. It was all worth it in the end.

Nice and Clean after her first bath.

Lookin' good little girl. We love you.
