Michala Has Arrived

At 3:45 Wednesday morning I awoke to Elizabeth’s voice and the sound of dripping water. “I think my water just broke,” she said. I retrieved a towel and informed her “I’m not ready for this.”

We arrived at the hospital just before 6:00 AM and Michala was born at 4:55 PM. She was 7 pounds 4 ounces, 20 1/4 inches long, and quite possibly the cutest baby ever.

Both sets of grandparents arrived shortly after birth along with Aunt Debbie.

We stayed in the hospital overnight and most of Thursday and were finally able to go home around 8:30.

She doesn't seem to be that loud.

Congratulations, you two! We'll be following your blog! Enjoy the next several weeks of snuggling - before she starts to move her body in ways you don't expect and can't anticipate! We haven't dropped Graham yet ... but at times it seems like he's just ready to be out of our arms!
