Our darling girl is finally here!!!!! It was Monday the 20th when I started having contractions off and on all day, and they got more regular around 5 pm. So, we spent the day/evening just relaxing and having a grand time at home, watching old musicals, and getting really excited to meet Olivia. We headed to the hospital at about 9:30, and found out I was already 6 cm dilated and everything was going well. According to the midwives, it was a "textbook" birth, meaning everything went smoothly and quickly without complications. Our beautiful Olivia came into the world at 1:03 am on September 21st: 8 pounds 6 oz, and 20.5 inches. Right away we noticed her long and thick, dark hair, and it also quickly became apparent was very strong - right away she lifted her head and opened her eyes to check out her surroundings.
It's impossible to describe how wonderful it is to have her with us and to be her parents. I will just say that our lives have been changed forever and she is more amazing than we could have ever hoped for.

Congratulations, she's so sweet! I'm incredibly happy for you two. It's amazing how just yesterday you were LainaPaina and we were learning Beatles songs on the guitar.
You'll be a truly wonderful mother Alaina. You're one of the most natually patient and considerate people I know.
