John, Edward, and myself are happy to announce the birth of our daughter:
Evangeline Mae Heller
Born: September 25th 2009
Time: 1:21 AM
Weight: 6 lbs, 7 ounces (Exactly the same as her big brother Edward at his delivery).
Length: 20 In.
Lots of long dark hair, beautiful blue eyes, and she has a definite girly sounding cry.
A short recap of the delivery:
The Lord blesesed me with an amazing delivery!
Contractions began at 11 PM, I tried to straighten my hair between them. :)
We arrived at the hospital around 12:15 AM.
The nurse checked me initailly at 12:43 AM and stated that I was 8 cm's and had "majorly bulging membranes." Ahhhhhh!
They moved me to my delivery room shortly after, it felt like forever.
I hated having the monitor on my stomach for the required 20 minutes and kept asking to have it removed.
Didn't have time for a nice warm bubble bath or pain meds.
The midwife made it to the hospital around 1:10ish, broke my water, and after one BIG push, Eva Mae made her apperance at 1:21 AM.
THANK THE LORD!!!
We are all doing wonderful!
The Daddy is almost asleep, poor thing. :)
Pictures to come...

Dear Kari, I am soo happy this morning! I have tears of joy that little Evangeline shares the same b-day as our grandma Evangeline. She would have loved to hold and meet her. Praising the Lord that everything went so well. I can't wait to meet her. Love you lots!

Wahoooo! Love that your delivery went so well and so quickly!!! That is definitely a blessing in itself and so happy that she is a good size after concerns of her being small. What a blessing! I'm so thankful for all the babies that have been born to us all the past few months! I can just see the camp scene down the road...wonderful lasting friendships!
Congratulations on the arrival of you girl and such a quick delivery. Can't wait to see pictures of the little one.

Prayed for you last night hoping you could just go on your own... So happy the Lord allowed it. What a neat delivery story!I hope I can do a repeat in a few weeks. I think it's so neat you and Jill are having your babies the same day. Ohhh and hair! I love hair!
Praise God! I am so excited for you. Enjoy your hospital stay- I miss mine :-). Can't wait to see pictures.

Congratulations on your new little girl! Praying for a recovery as quick as your labor was, and a smooth transition for the whole family as you welcome baby Eva home. Can't wait to see more pics!
Kari, That's amazing! I love her name, too. Its very beautiful. Her birth sounds a lot like Deacon's (very fast). I wonder what my third will be like? We're really happy for you guys.
