Angeline Grace

Angeline Grace
November 22, 2011 at 5:27 a.m.
7lb 7ozs - 18.5 inches long.

Elizabeth and I arrived at the Birth Center (Wilmington, DE) around 12:30 a.m.  Things progressed slowly at first but began picking up around 3:00 a.m.  Within two and half hours, we held our daughter in our arms!

Angeline and the midwife who delivered her.  The midwives at the Birth Center are really excellent!

Olivia, Logan, Grandma, and Grandpa arrived around 8 a.m. with breakfast.  Everyone was very excited to meet the new baby, especially Olivia and Logan!  Even before we knew we were having a girl, Olivia had been calling the baby Angeline Grace, a contraction of the name we originally had in mind, Evangeline Grace.  We fell in love with Olivia's version and ultimately decided to let her choose her sister's name.

Here, Elizabeth is preparing Angeline for the ride home.  The Birth Center usually allows you to leave by around 8 hours after your delivery.
