Arlee Nichole Hoge

We finally have our little girl! Arlee was born March 25, 2009. She was 6 pounds 14 ounces and 19 inches long. We went into the hospital at about 1:00 pm on the 24th after Chelsey had timed her contractions for 3 hours (since 10 am). Arlee was born at 5:44 am after a long wait. Chelsey did great there during the labor (the doctors and nurses were amazed at her pain tolerance and toughness), and the birth was textbook. Arlee is super cute. One nurse who was in the delivery room went to the nurses' station and was bragging about how cute she is, and when we were taking Arlee to the nursery, all the nurses came to check her out. She has hair, which is weird for both sides of our families, and she has long eyelashes. Both of us are so happy to finally have her here and that she is healthy along with Chelsey. Pictures will be posted later, but this is it for now.
