IT'S A GIRL!

Our baby has finally arrived!
NAME: Ariel Rose
BIRTHDATE: 6/24/08
TIME: 3:26 pm
WEIGHT: 7 lbs 8 oz
LENGTH: 19"
APGAR: 9.9 (just like big brother)
HOURS IN LABOR: 16!
It was so hard and I didn't think I was going to make it... But I did it naturally, with no pain medication. I finally got my VBAC and I'm so glad it's over.
Those Bradley classes helped so much (Thanks Sherry for your awesome teaching!)
Also, my Doula Kelleen was amazing and I will never be able to thank her enough.
My mom was also there for me helping me so much.
Most of all I thank my husband who was there by my side encouraging me, praying for me, and telling me that I could do it when I thought I couldn't.
Thank you God for sending us another healthy angel!

She has dark brown hair light skin and hazel eyes .


Big brother Eliseo looking at his new baby sister.

At 24 hours, her bili level was 8.1 so she was placed on a bililight.

After her next test, she was clear to go home.

We came home today at about 2:00 pm

Hehe, so cute! I want to pinch her cheeks. I love the pic with Eliseo and her. I can't believe he's a big brother now. Cool!

Yeah, the picture of her face looks just like one I took of Eliseo at that age.
