Bada Bing Bada Boom - She's Here!

Ta Da!!!! Look what we created! So, after 43 hours of labor (honestly it was very very easy - I do like epidurals in case you were wondering...), and 45 minutes of pushing, Anna Elise came with no complications Sunday the 22nd at 11:30am! I must be built for babyin', cause the whole ordeal was a breeze. Anna weighed 7 lbs 8 oz, and was 19 inches long - just perfect if you ask me. :) After 4 days, we've learned that she likes her hair brushed, but her bum left alone. She eats like a champ and belches like her mom, but we think she looks so much like her happy Daddy! Anyway, all is well; the Gardner Family is very excited, and we'll continue to keep all of you posted on new milestones!! Thanks to all for your help in getting Anna here successfully!

What a beautiful baby, you guys did good. The Gardner genes do tend to come through strong most of the time! I do think she has some of her momma in her too. Way to go! Let the fun begin....

As adorable as she is... and she is... you need to include a picture of the BACK of her head to show off all of that hair! Love, Grandma Birch

You guys do good work. She's beautiful! On a side note, I agree that labor isn't that bad. It's after labor when you actually HAVE the baby that all the trouble starts. :) BUT--it is so worth it!
