Everything went absolutely wonderful today. Liz and I got to the hospital at 9:30 a.m. and we were in our room by 10:00 a.m. Family arrived around 11:00 as we were preparing to go to the O.R. At approximately 12:00 p.m., they took Liz and I back to the room. They had me wait outside the room as they prepared her. Around 12:20 p.m. the nurse came out to get me from the hallway. Crazy sidenote - they had a radio playing in the O.R. and as I walked in, I hear the song that is playing - Making Memories of Us by Keith Urban - our wedding song! So not five minutes later, I lean over the drape just in time to see Cricket coming out. Dr. Rajala pulled Cricket out and asked me to announce whether it was a boy or girl. IT'S A GIRL! It was definitely worth the wait not finding out. I couldn't have asked for a better surprise! She's going to be a such a Daddy's Girl. I can already tell.
Thank you to all of our family and friends who kept us in your thoughts and prayers over the last 9 months. We feel so blessed to have a happy, healthy little girl as part of our family now. I also feel so blessed to have such a wonderful wife who not only did such an amazing job today, but such a great job growing our little one over the past 9 months. She is already such a good mother!

She is beautiful! Thank you for the updates. I am so happy that mommy and baby are healthy and doing good. We love you guys and cannot wait to hear more about this new little chapter in your lives.
She looks like mom but I know she will definitely be a daddy's girl! Beautiful baby girl, you two! We send our love and her package went out today. Something for her to be snuggled in on the ride home and other goodies. Scott, have someone at the house to get it. It is supposed to arrive Saturday-- hope that's not to late. I pray that you guys get your rest and mom has a speedy recovery. Definately use the hospital stay to get some sleep before yall go home.
Andy and Amanda.
Yea! She's so cute...and look at that head full of hair.
Oh my gosh you guys! She is just precious!!!!! We can't wait to meet her! I hate that we are so far away! We will see you soon. I know you can't wait to get home but take advantage of the hospital stay for sure!
She is precious! BIG and healthy! I'm so happy for you and I'm really looking forward to meeting her! Like the last poster said, use the nursery and rest now!
