Well, she arrived yesterday (April 24th at around 1:15pm) much to everyone's delight. She weighed in at a healthy 7lbs 14oz. As you can see by the mop of dark hair on her head, this one may actually have taken more after her mommy... time will tell. Labor and delivery went really well, and as usual, Cherisse amazed the doctors and nurses with her calmness and her ability to be smiling and laughing even moments before delivery... and she does all this drug free. She assures me that she is an extreme amount of pain but that she manages to not show it. Here is one photo taken about 4-5 hours after birth. More to come!
