At long last....



We welcome Jillian Alice Felt to our little family! She was born the afternoon of July 15 after a long 15 hours of labor. She weighs 8 1/2 pounds, is 20 and 1/4 inches long and has poofy dark hair. Baby is doing very well and Mom feels so good that it must be criminal somehow!

I know she doesn't look like a newborn here, she's only 48 hours old. She's not always this alert but she is an excellent baby so far. She appears to be her mother's daughter with an excessive fondness for sleep! I'm sure there will be enough future updates to make everyone sick of seeing them. Thanks everyone for your encouragement and prayers, they were needed.

Oh, Cheryl. She is just beautiful! Those are the most amazing eyes I have ever seen on a newborn. I know you were just here at my house, but her little eyes never opened. They are gorgeous! And those lips...no need for collagen in the future! I am so glad that she is here and that you are feeling so good. You deserve all of this happiness and so much more!
