Welcome Baby Helena!

Hello Everyone - Welcome, Baby Helena Jane Franklin!
Helena was born Thursday 8.28.08 at 3:34P. She weighed 8lb. 6oz. and was 21.5" long. Mom did a fantastic job. She labored for 5 hours and pushed for 45 minutes.

After very few complications with both my girls, we are finally at home recovering well. I can't tell you how nice it feels to be home. I have finally gotten a bit of rest after not sleeping for a few days and Helena and I are chillin' in the office now while mom grabs a nap and prepares for more rounds of feedings today.

Thank you all for your support so far. I will update this later when I have a spare few hours...HAHAHAHA!

Awww... you guys - she's BEAUTIFUL! Jen you look fabulous for just having a baby! You go girl. Scott - you look great too, like a proud papa. =) I know you have a busy routine to get into play but I look forward to hearing from you guys when you get a second. Or when you finally master the task of (holding, changing, feeding) a baby with one arm while you perform all your other life duties with the other arm. =)

Love you guys!
