Exciting day... too exciting

So today has been a lot more exciting than we hoped... Short story.. .Everything is perfect... baby girl is here crying with big lungs and testing out perfectly on all fronts.

Julie did so well and had a very short and easy delivery, but that pesky placenta gave us some trouble. We were able to get it out with a bit of love from Nancy, and the situation became nice and stable. After some discussion we decided that it would be best if Julie took a trip to the hospital and that I am going to stay home with one of the midwifes and the baby... She is out there now... pix will be posted soon...

Keep sending the love and good thoughts.. it is going to be a long night.
