She's Here!

After much ado......Eva Elizabeth Bleazard finally made it into the world at 9:07 this morning! Labor and delivery proved to be quite the ordeal for us, we checked into the hospital at about 4:oo in the afternoon and Tara was battling all night. I was exhausted by the early a.m. and I still don't know how Tara got through it. The active labor stage lasted until about 4:00 a.m., she started pushing at 4:30 and pushed pushed pushed for a bit over four hours until we finally had a breakthrough. Eva was stuck in the pelvis area and needed a little extra help getting past the obstacle, but once she did, everything went well. She weighed in a 7 lbs. 3 oz. and measured 21 inches. Tara is recovering now and the baby is here in the room with us. We're excited to take some serious naps this afternoon.

Eva is a beautiful baby girl and we couldn't be more excited to be parents. We can't wait for you all to meet her.
