Welcome Eden Adelei!

Born 8.1.2008
5:28pm
8 pounds 13 ounces
22 1/4 inches

Baby and mom are doing great! 15 hours of labor, 35 minutes of pushing, 1 knot in the umbilical cord, 0 complications. Praise God!

And now for some survey results:

She was born after her due date, but on her own. She has a lot of hair, but it's not red (yet--Peter and his siblings all had dark hair at birth and red hair later, so we'll see). And we decided on the name a few days ago, before she was born.

And now for the first picture!

And another!

Congratulations, you guys.

Love the name...our firstborn is Eden Elise.

Your life will never be the same...but in a good way!

I think I see a slight cast of red in those eyebrows, but maybe not. :) You should be so pleased and proud of her and yourself. You have a beautiful daughter and I am busting with pride at my new Granddaughter. More pictures PLEASE. Surely you have nothing else to do right now. :) Love you. Mom
