Shelby's Here!

I'm sure Nicole will make this much cuter, but here you go:

Shelby Abraham (middle name still undecided)
born December 3, 2008 at 11:13AM (2.5 weeks early)
7lbs 9oz
19 inches long











That's all we have so far, we'll post more as they come.

Nicole did a GREAT job. She is AMAZING. I couldn't survive child birth so I am very proud of her. They started inducing her at 4:00 this morning and she didn't progress much until about 9:00 when the doc broke her water. As soon as her water broke her body was ready to get this over with so she started having very painful contractions. She eventually got her epidural, and by 11:00 she was done. Ethan still hasn't met his little sister (we're on our way back to the hospital as soon as I finish this post) but I'm sure he will soon love having her around.

She looks perfect. The Carver and Abraham gene combination has worked its magic once again. Now you guys can let me know if I want a girl or not... Congrats.

Congrats, Nicole and Nathan! Shelby is just beautiful and it seems she was already big enough even two and a half weeks early. Way to go, Nicole! I know how hard childbirth is having just gone through it, and it's no piece of cake.
