Announcing the Arrival of . . .


Julia Anne!!!! Yes, it's a girl!!! I can still hardly believe it. She arrived last night after an unbelievably short labor (approx. 2 hours) and about 4 or 5 pushes. She was 6 1/2 lbs. exactly and about 18.5" long. She's beautiful! Thank you all so much for your prayers . . . I will try and post the longer version of the birth story pretty soon. :)

She's beautiful! I had a strong feeling that you'd go last night- there must have been a certain tone in your last post! Congratulations- I'm glad there were no complications :)

Congratulations! Such a beautiful little girl. I was praying for you last night. I'm so thankful you had such a short and easy labor. I will be looking forward to hearing the longer version, but for now take your time and recover and enjoy your little Julia.

Are you kidding me?? I jumped on this morning to see your week 38 report and i had to check to make sure I clicked on the right blog!
I wasn't impatient before...but at week 39 - i may risk the incredibly sore feet and walk to every taco bell in town!!
Congratulations on your baby girl!!
How exciting! Maybe the Lord will allow me to have a similar post soon!! Take care!

Congratulations! I, like Shyla, stopped in to see your 38 week update and...WOW!! Julia is such a pretty name, and I am excited for you that your labor was a short one! I will look forward to the story and more pictures in the coming weeks!

Thanks, everyone! I'm off to type up the birth story now, before I forget the details. :)
