Brooklyn Claire

We welcomed Brooklyn Claire Lovell into our family this morning. Can I just say, I love being a Dad! What a strong and emotional feeling it is to watch one of your own come into the world. It is one of the best feelings I have ever experienced and one that cannot be explained but can only be experienced.
Brooklyn arrived around 8:15 AM this morning after a long night of contractions for Celeste. She came quick after the epidural was administered (1 hr 45 min) and weighed in at 7 lbs 4 oz and stretched to 20 inches in length. Mom and baby are doing well.

So precious, I love the pictures. I can agree about the feeling of bringing your own into the world. I am a little sad I won't be doing that again. It is a special time.

Love her and that is the BEST feeling in the world. It is different for woman....We are so emotionally and physically spent, but it is great.
