Leila Makenzie Howard was born today

So here are some fotos of the big girl. She was born at 2:41pm at 9.6lbs. and 19.5inches! Doc said that she is healthy and looks really good. Another week longer and we would have possibly had to do a C-section. She would have been alot bigger if we would have waited til the due date. She birthed her really fast.
Suzanna is doing really really well. She says she doesn't even feel like she had a baby. A little tired but feels really good. The girls just adore her. Eden couldn't get enough of her as they each got a turn to hold her. Jesse was just kinda like who's this little person???

Now that everyone is gone and I sit here typing this I can't help but look over at this new little girl that has joined our family. We are so so lucky. She is sound asleep and will be ready for her first bath at 9pm! She has been feeding really well. she latched on as soon as they got her ready to see mom. First feeding was 45mins. Hmmm, guess she really is a Howard, girl can put it down!!
We have also discovered one little characteristic; she has taken after her mother, and felt that she needed to be just like her with a webbed middle toe! She even has it in the same foot as mom. It's really cool! Anyways I need to get back to tending to Zanna. Enjoy!!!












































































The End
or the Beginning



















As you can see Jesse loves to comfort his mom






















The day was eventful!
