Well now the day has come and gone and our precious gift from God is here!!!! She is absolutely perfect!! Ella Lanae Lehnen was born June 23rd at 1:39 pm weighing in at 6 lbs and 8 oz and 19 in long.

Clay and I arrived at the hospital at 5:20 am, checked into our room, got into my hospital gown and hooked up to monitors! Dr. Lampkin came in and broke my water at 8:15 and we had our 1st contraction at 9:00. The process really did go by pretty fast (well after I had dilated to a 5 and THEN got an epidural). We started pushing at 12:45 and Ella was born at 1:39. I keep saying "we" because I could not have done it without Clay....he was the most amazing coach ever. Even the nurses commented on how calm and collective he was.

This is all I have time to post for now....more info to come later. Check out pictures of our precious Ella!
