Ella Ann Gilreath August 19, 2009

She arrived! I went into labor at 4am 8-18 and Ella Ann came into this world on August 19, 2009. She was born at 2:53am, weighed 7lbs 12oz, and was 20 1/2 inches long. She is the most beautiful, amazing, wonderful gift we could have asked for. Here are a few pictures. Sorry there are not more, but momma and daddy are tired after almost 24hours of labor!!! :)

Me after the epidural, finally able to relax and enjoy labor.
Ella right after birth.
The doctors trying to make her cry, she was too busy checking things out.

Our wonderful Doc Capt. Bergerson. She was not on call but stayed at the hospital all night to deliver Ella to us. It was an awesome experience because she was there!
