A Good Day for a Birthday

Well worth the wait! At 9:35 this morning we welcomed Faith Amelia Gundersen weighing in at a healthy 8lbs 14oz and 22 inches long. She's a whole lot of baby and has thick, dark hair. Things took a little longer than we expected with the labor and in the end due to a small complication she ended up being delivered via c-section, but are so pleased with how well it turned out. The ladies in the OR and I were wagering how big she would be. :)

All the nurses, doctors, and anesthetists have been fantastic here at the hospital. It's a great day, but we are extremely tired. We've both been up for about 44 hours solid, so I'll be wrapping up soon.

Praise the Lord for our special girl! She's just so cool that we can't keep our eyes off of her. Except for tonight we're going to let those great nurses keep her in the nursery for us so we can get some rest.

I'm sure we'll have more pictures to share soon, but here are a few.
