It's a Girl!!!!

IMG_1636

Our daughter (name unknown as of yet) was born this morning at 10:40am (ish). She has peach-fuzzy blond hair. She was 7 lbs 4 oz and 21 inches long. She's beautiful. Alene is doing great, despite the 9 hrs of HARD labor (preceded by 18 hours of off and on labor). I'm so proud of Alene for having the strength to go through with what she wanted, which was an all-natural birth.

Here are some pictures and a few video clips.
