She's here!!! She's here!!! She's finally arrived!!! We are so excited--a beautiful little girl. We named her Kate Virginia Marley after some more debate.:) She was born at 7:36pm on Friday September 15th, 2006. She was 7 lbs. 11 oz. and 20 1/2 inches long...just perfect.
Our doctor decided to begin induction on Thursday the 14th...after 13 hours and no progression, they took me off of the Pitocin and Jared and I slept for about 5 hours. Then we started it up again early on the 15th...we were at serious risk of a C-section and thank the Lord for answering our prayers for a natural birth. It was pretty scary and definitely a long two days but OH SO WORTH IT! Jared was an amazing coach and I know that had a lot to do with our success. And our sweet Doctor and nurse were both supposed to be gone by 7:00pm that evening and stayed to see us through--they were wonderful.
Jared and I are just in disbelief that we have a daughter. The Lord has just truly blessed us with her already, and we feel an awesome responsibility for this great gift. We know she belongs to Him but are so thrilled that we were blessed to be her parents.
Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers over the next few weeks as we learn what it takes!:) We love you all!

We think Kate Virginia is pretty fortunate to have you both as parents. Congratulations - now the fun begins, just think, not a good night's sleep for the next 21 years. Come and see us - BTW bring the baby.
