42 weeks, one day....

She was worth the wait =)


It took 32 hours of active labor to coax her out, but Joella Christine finally arrived -- 6 lbs 13 oz, 20 inches, at 10:31am on 18 October. Johnni is doing great and was amazing during labor. She deserves a rest.

The picture was taken with my phone...so the quality isn't the best, but we'll have more up soon so check back often.

My heart is bursting with joy! I am getting a bit choked up at my computer looking at your little sweetheart. Congratulations to both of you, and great work Johnni! Now Matt, HURRY, and get more pictures up. I can't wait to see more :)

I second that comment, Ashley. :) One picture will tide us over for now, but not for long!
