It's a girl!  Lorelei came into the world fast and furious on Tuesday, October 9th, 2012 at 2:25am, weighing 7 lbs 12 oz, and measuring 19 inches long.  I had been convinced I was carrying a boy, but daddy was right on this one.

We were in and out of the hospital in less than 48 hours, spending only about an hour and a half there before she was born.  I had an all natural birth - no drugs or interventions at all - and wouldn't do it any other way.

We're looking forward to watching this girl grow and come into her own!
