Ashley was born at 8:37 PM on April 5th. She was 7 lbs 3 oz and 19 inches long.
Elliot and I were definitely ready for her to come out. I had just gotten my epidural in this picture and the epidural kicking in is always a happy moment.

Here's brand new Ashley Belle.

I was only at the hospital for 4 hours before she was born so she came pretty fast.

I was so happy to have Dr. Cannon deliver Ashley. I worked as her medical assistant 5 years ago and I really adore her! She is a great doctor too.

The proud and cute Daddy.

The nurse stamped Ashley's little footprints on his arm. Precious.
Love at first sight.
Just one big cheesy family!

Lindsey has been very good throughout this transition. She doesn't pay much attention to Ashley now, but at least she's not hitting her!
When she does give the baby attention she is very sweet and talks in the softest, sweetest little voice. I'm sure once Ashley starts to wake up a bit Lindsey will realize how cool it is to have her very own baby sister to play with.
Ahhhh...sleep. Being born is hard work for everyone involved.

Getting ready to hold baby Ashley for the first time! She looks excited but a little nervous.
Ohhhhh...so tender.

This girls are getting a better look at each other. I wonder what that
mischievous little toddler's thinking.
