She's HERE!

She's here! She's perfect and we're all doing really well.
Annabelle Joy Mathews
7 pounds 6 ounces
21 inches

Labor wasn't too bad. I decided that since I did 27 hours of labor without a working epidural last time, I didn't need to prove anything to anyone! As soon as my DR broke my water, labor picked up and an hour and a half later I was sittin' pretty and painless! I went from a 4 to a 10 in 2 hours, then pushed three times and VOILA!

Here are some pics! :O)



This video is of the boys holding their little sister for the first time!

I know I'm just a little late with this, but I think I'm finally returning from Zombie state. She is so beautiful and your boys are so cute with her. I think she will be WELL looked after (she may not like that very much later when she starts dating :0) ) Congratulations!
