Welcome Evelyn Grace!





On July 31, 2008, our lives were forever changed by the arrival of our daughter, Evelyn Grace (better known as "Evie"). I was a day overdue and more than 6 cm dilated, so my midwife and I agreed to check me in to Labor & Delivery, break my water and see what happened. They broke my water just before 2 p.m. and Miss Evie arrived just 5 hours later at 7:23 p.m. She weighed in at 6 lbs, 3 oz and 18.7 in long. I had a completely natural delivery so both of us were very alert for hours after her birth. Blake was a wonderful coach and was just beaming when he was finally able to see and hold his little girl.
