Lola Tate Barlow

I can't believe I am finally posting this announcement...but it's true, SHE is FINALLY here! Our sweet, little Lola Tate Barlow was born yesterday afternoon at 4:08 PM EST. She weighed a perfect 7 lbs. 5 oz. and was 20 inches long. She has the most incredible head of dark black hair that I have ever seen (even MORE than Garrett did)! It's unbelievable that she is mine! The whole day went so wonderfully. I had the best nurses, anesthesiologist, and support team (Jeff and my mom) that anyone could ever hope for. And being this our 3rd child, it was just as much of a miracle as the first time around...maybe even more! We are so in love already with this little girl...especially Jeff. It's amazing to see how much he's already taken to his little princess. Can you say "wrapped around his little finger" and "over-protective daddy?"

We are still here at the hospital until tomorrow morning so I don't have access to download my pictures, but my mom has graciously posted lots of pictures on her blog here. Thanks to all for your sweet texts, calls, thoughts and prayers. We are truly grateful for the many wonderful family and friends who have shared in the birth of our little Lola.
