Brynlie

Our beautiful angel arrived Sunday at 7:15 am. As you can see from the picture below, she is a healthy chunker, weighing it at a 8 lbs, 2 oz. 21 in. She has a full head of dark beautiful hair, and the chubbiest little cheeks. She is absolutely perfect and we are absolutely in love.So, for the story: Saturday afternoon I started having mild contractions and kept having them throughout the afternoon. I went for a couple of walks to get things going, and at 10:45 that night, my water broke. We headed to the hospital, were admitted at about 12:30, waited until 3:3o until the epidural (not by choice, there was only one anestesiologist there and he was in a C-section for over an hour) have never been more happy than when I got the epidural, and by 6:15, I was ready to push. We waited about a half an hour for my doctor to arrive, and I pushed for 20 minutes and out she popped! Richard said he about fainted because he couldn't believe what a big baby came out of me! I couldn't believe how quickly and smoothly the labor and delivery went. I feel so blessed! And I honestly do not know how people give birth without an epidural. Wow!
Hair!!!

All swaddled up

Proud papa









Oh my goodness, I love her so much! Welcome Brynlie!!

CONGRATS!! We wondered if she came since you weren't at church. I had seen your car there on Saturday, but not Sunday (I know I am such a snoopy neighbor). She is so precious and adorable! Can't wait to snuggle her! You guys are such cute parents and Carlie you look fabulous (are you sure you just went through labor, you look great)!
