Aaliyah Jade Love is here and she's a looker...

(Justin's first posting) Yep, that's right. Aaliyah was born yesterday at 12:42pm. She was 5 lb 14 oz, 19 1/2 inches long, and perfectly healthy. All the pictures I put on here were posted in reverse, so for chronological people like me, start at the bottom. This first picture was the last so far. I was lucky enough to snatch a photo of her yawning.




This is pic 3 of 3 of a long nap.

Here's pic 1 of 3 of a long nap, and one of my favorites.





Aaliyah's first tantrum. She didn't want to wait for Mommy to be ready for her to eat.





Our first family picture with Aaliyah. Karli looked awesome. No one could tell she had just given birth just by looking at her. She did great.





Grandma Love was holding Aaliyah after her first bath and hair salon trip. (Cute little bow, eh?)





All squeaky clean. Look at all that hair!





Just chillin' on the table.






Despite being fully effaced, dilated at a 5, and contractions about 2 minutes apart, Karli insisted on a final side profile before we headed out the door at 3:30 in the morning on Wednesday. Technically, she had been in labor all day Tuesday, but suddenly at 3, things picked up quick. We made it from Rigby to Rexburg's hospital in about 10 minutes. Yay for no coppers.
