Here she is! Delaney Elizabeth (although it took us about 36 hours to officially name her...) arrived at 11:08 pm on August 16th, weighing 8 lbs. 6 oz. and measuring 20.5 inches. She arrived quickly- I was dialated 8 cm when I got to the hospital! Ned, my mom and our doula, Darlene, were incredibly supportive. We were able to have a natural birth- it was really amazing.
Delaney was so alert! She was checking her world out immediately and smacking her lips to eat!
Dad is already wrapped around her little fingers.
