She's HERE!!!!

Our sweet baby girl was born early this morning.  Anna Renee weighed in at 8 lbs. 1 oz and is 20.5 inches long.  She is so cute!  She has a little bit of dark hair, big dark eyes, and a perfectly round head and face (due to the fastest pushing experience ever! ahh!).  We did it with no epidural, no IV, no nothin'.  It was the most intense, hard thing I have ever done in my life and will take me awhile to recover mentally more than anything, but we're so happy she's here!  It was about 7 hours of labor (a little over 3 at the hospital) and I'm sure I'll share all the details later.

For now, we're just trying to rest a bit.  Jeremy just left to go pick up the boys so they can see her and my mom flies in this evening!  Anna didn't make it in February, but 3-1-13 is a pretty cool birthday too. :)


Oh, and our camera screen somehow broke right after she was born.  TERRIBLE timing.  So we've done our best to take some pictures, but they aren't great.  We'll figure something out...more pictures to come later.

Yay!!!!!!! Oh, that is just wonderful! She looks absolutely beautiful! Way to go without an epidural or anything, that is really intense. Hopefully you can get some rest, and I am so glad mom is coming right away. Congrats, congrats, congrats!
