Our darling baby, Alice, was born 8-8-08 at 5:23pm. She weighed 7 lbs. 9 oz. and measured 20 inches long. She didn't keep her mama in labor very long--thank goodness! The "A" Team (A is for Alice, of course) was assembled to coach me through: Jason, my mom, my 3 midwives: Kari, Salli, and Amber, my cousin Becki, and my friend Jamie. I didn't have to go through one contraction without having my back rubbed and encouraging words whispered in my ears. We were all so happy and thankful when she came out crying and showing off her beautiful, alert eyes. It felt so good to hold her perfect, warm little body in my arms. She was a pro at nursing from the very beginning, too. Good girl! This pretty little baby made so many people happy.
