She's here! She's here! She's here!

Xochi Mariellen was born at 5:55 pm on June 3rd.



7 lbs 9 oz, 19.5 inches



Can you even believe it!!?????



I can hardly believe she is here!



Everyone is doing well. Xochi is healthy and strong and so, so sweet.



She has the daintiest little features and LOTS of dark hair, as you'll see in the pictures.



Amanda rocked it out. Things were going so slow this morning. Then doc broke her water at noon and Xochi was born 6 hours later. Amanda only pushed for like 10 minutes.



I'm exhausted and need to go look for a plane ticket home for TOMORROW NIGHT! Freaky! But the pediatrician at the hospital said we'll be fine.



So without further adieu....







Xochi and mama - both with double chins. Lovely.







8 and 9 apgar scores (is that how you spell it?)


Words cannot express how much your prayers, encouragement and excitment has meant to me over the last few days.
