She has arrived!



Aubrey Abigail Crane was born at 7:52 am on Sunday, July 29, 2007.




Bill and I went for about an hour long walk Saturday morning in Manassas National Battlefield Park with Dexter. Contractions started rather irregularly in the middle of the day so I guess what they say about walking really is true! As we were watching a movie after dinner I started timing contractions but didn't really think it was the real thing because they weren't painful yet. They were coming every three minutes for about 2 hours when we headed to the hospital around 8:30pm. Twelve hours of active labor including two hours of pushing later she arrived! We recovered in the hospital until Tuesday afternoon and then headed home. We are all a little tired, but are loving every minute of being a family.

So exciting for everyone! Bob and I also discussed Aubrey's nose feature and determined it matched her mom's! :) Aunt Cyndy will consider this an added blessing for Aubrey! Best of our love and prayers in the comming weeks. We can't wait to see all of you again, soon!
