The Wait is Over

The baby is here!

Ava Emma-Lynn was born this morning 5/29/05 at 3:55 a.m. I was blessed and honored to be allowed to be present for the birth. It was the most amazing experience. I was so amazed by the sheer strength and determination Samara had. She was awesome through the whole experience. She managed contractions like a champ before her epidural, there seemed to be no end to her willpower during pushing, and she was awarded with the most perfect baby girl.

Wow. She weighed 7 pounds 1 ounce and was 20 1/2 inches long. I can't wait to get back to the hospital to vist. But for now, here is one of her first pictures with Mom.



Happy Birthday Ava!
