At 11:29 pm on November 22nd, 2008…weighing in at a rock solid 7 lbs, 8 ounces and measuring 20 inches long…Lyla Grace finally arrived after making her mother push for almost 3 hours.
I’ll post all about the delivery and the events that led up to it, but right now I’ve uploaded some pictures to Facebook that are available for your enjoyment.

OH MY GOODNESS MIKE! Courtney's response was “oh mom, she is beautiful, just the beautifulest.” Last night when we were waiting for the call from Aunt Karen, John and I were talking and Courtney was listening in, just you wait for those ears that don't miss a beat, and she was so excited to have a baby cousin. CONGRATULATIONS!
Congratulations!!! Tracy, Brenden and I are so excited for you guys! Look forward to seeing more pics soon!
Oh, wow! Perfect size! She is very beautiful — really!~ not all squishy! LOL. Congratulations! I can't believe I have to wait an entire WEEK to talk to Grandma Gisela at work — wow! She's a Grandma!
Oh, wow! I jus viewed all the photos — you're so fast! Looks like she's got a set of healthy lungs & vocal cords on her!
Hey christi…grandma gisela is here and holding her granddaughter!
LOL – oh, I know Gisela is probably in tears, overwhelmed with happiness! Is Jina staying overnight in the hospital? Can't wait to see more pictures! Thanks for posting (and SO QUICKLY!).
Congratulations, Mike and Jina on a beautiful baby!
Congrats!! On the 30th of this month my baby girl who as 7 pounds 7 seven ounces when born will be 18. They do grow up so fast so enjoy your time with her.
I watched Facebook like the greatest movie was unfolding…it was fantastic! I am SO excited for the both of you…
Congratulations! Man, it seemed like this day would never come…probably more so for you than me, but still….congrats!

CONGRATS!!!! She is absolutely beautiful – even her skin tone is perfect! Great job Momma — and Daddy! I'm so thrilled for you both! Take care!

What a beauty, Mike! I tell you, my reaction to 3 hours of pushing was: YIKES! You should get Jina a really nice present for that one. Glad to hear you're all doing well!
