My First Birthday

No Carla is not one year old yet. But we recently received pictures from her birth and want to share them here. These are the earliest pictures we have of Carla Marie and some were taken just minutes after her birth.


Hospital Room where Carla was born.













In pain.













What made all that pain worth it.













Miracle of life. We're overcome.




















Cutting the cord.



















We did it!
















Carla's weight - 9 lbs, 1.4 ounces.














My head size 15.25 inches!
















Measuring my chest.














And my length - over 21 inches!










My hands.













My proud papa.
