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!

    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!
