It is with great joy, pride, and humility that we introduce our newest addition to our family. Amelia Jean Ray was born at 6:49pm on Monday, February 23, 2009. She was a very large baby weighing in at 10lbs 3oz, measuring 23inches long (as long as the tape measure is that they measure newborns with), and had a head circumference of 14inches.
Marissa was a trooper through the whole labor. Sunday morning at 7am is when the contractions started, we went to the hospital at 6pm on Sunday night, and at nearly 7pm Monday Amelia was born. In all Marissa endured 36 hours of labor with great strength and patience. Ultimately, it was decided that a C-section was needed to get Amelia out because her head was so big and she wasn't positioned right because she was so large.
Mom and baby are doing well. Dad is on cloud 9 having been a witness to this amazing life event. Thanks to all for your support through this process that was at times stressful and nerve racking. We look forward to introducing you all to Amelia in the coming weeks.
