Our daughter Leah Catherine was born this Monday, November 17th, at 2:37 p.m. She came into the world weighing a very healthy 9 pounds, and she is 20 inches long. She was born via an emergency c-section after about 12 hours of labor, over 2 of which were pushing! The important thing is that she is now doing well, and as of this morning is breathing on her own and able to breastfeed. These first few pictures are of Leah a few hours after her birth.
As you can see, she looks a lot like her papa!
Leah quieted down when she heard dad's voice and latched
on to his finger for the first time.
Mom finally got to see and hold Leah around 11pm!
And here's our happy, sleepy family!
Again, thanks to all for your prayers, encouragement, and presents! We will keep posting updates and pictures.
